Actually LFE will not go to the mains. This setting simply allows bass from mains to go both to mains and sub channel.

ya think? ;) Actually Sangria is her poison ;)

No they shouldn't. Any speakers not producing linear bass extension down to 20Hz should be considered small. The AVR-5805 allows for every conceivable bass management configuration known to man. If you can't find an adequate solution for your speaker system using the AVR-5805, you haven't...

Panther; Anthem/Paradigm continually refuses to send us products to review. Please see the thread below and feel free to email their Marketing person Mark. Thanks. Paradigm/Athem Review Policy Thread

This remains to be seen. The code issues for DD++ are still being hashed out and likely won't be set until next spring. The first generation products supporting DD++ will likely downconvert to 640kps resolution to be compatible with legacy devices. Denon will either have firmware (or more...

Unless your speakers can produce linear bass down to 20Hz at all power levels, they should be almost always be set small. Very few speakers have this type of extension, especially when driven to high SPL levels.

Audiobear; Good comments and yes you are correct, their biamp mode is meant mostly as a passive biamp solution. Denon dedicated processors based off their new super receivers are on the way and we should be getting info around Cedia time about them. Stay tuned....

Actually I wrote the review for this one, but Clint also writes some great reviews! Please follow the calibration guidelines I established in the review. MultEQ is IMO lightyears beyond MCACC in terms of accuracy. Also make sure you select "Audyssey" for the EQ after calibration. I found the...

Yes Audyssey will still be engaged. You can also go back and restore default setting. Haha too many connectors? Don't blame Denon, blame the industry for having too many formats. Denon just happens to support all of them ;) You can always slap some masking tape over the unused connectors....

Time, patience, massage, wine and most importantly, let her be part of the picking process for the room decor :p

Please focus all of your questions relating to the Denon AVR-5805 and/or my forthcoming review here please. Thanks. and here it is....... <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><A...

The solution is simple, turn your wife into an Audioholic :)

No. I know about the Auto responder. We have to wait for Clint to fix that one.

I fixed it. Thats what happens when we work late nights :rolleyes:

Thats cool, all that effort to prove exotic cords don't improve audio performance which can be deduced by simple logic and junior engineering principles. I bet those guys in the back seats could hear all the nuances of the music when the Nordost power cord was attached ;)

IF your doing home theater, there really is no advantage to buying a separate 2CH preamp if you already have a quality receiver from Denon/Yamaha/Integra. The preamp sections in their $1k and up receivers are very good to excellent. Again if you already have a 3805, don't waste your time...

Yea I just completed a review of a $6,000 receiver :rolleyes:

Ray is correct, 12AWG solid core wire is not a good idea for speaker cables since it will perform poorer than equivalent stranded, be very inflexible, etc. I will eventually do an article comparison for fun when I get back on the cable kick.

Peng; The sonic differences between 2 good amps is subtle at best assuming they are operated within their design limits. The advantage the RX-V2500 has over the AVR-3805 via preouts is a slightly lower noise floor which can be audible depending on the amp gain structure and sensitivity of...
