The ending was definately anti-climatic, no pun intended :D

While it definately wasn't a blockbuster, it wasn't quite as bad as everyone claimed. I thought Keanu Reeves was par for the course with his mediocre acting skills. The boy almost ruined the movie completely, but luckily he somewhat redeemed himself towards the end. Overall I'd give it a...

Sorry guys I got a little backed up b/c of holidays and other stuff this time of year so my review won't be out until 1-2 weeks after XMAS. To answer your questions, the Z7 IMO has better video processing than the Z11. The amp quality is nearly as good, though not quite as powerful as the...

Actually you can't bridge the Pioneer or any receiver for that matter. It will allow you to bi-amp which is much different than bridging. I think the new Emo processor is coming out in Feb or March. You're fine with the Pio and 8 ohm B&W speakers.

Yes I agree some of the new Denon line essentially traded amp quality for features. The 4308 is definately not a replacement to the 4806 just like the 5308 is NOT a replacement to the 5805. We likely wont be testing the 4308 b/c we covered a lot of Denon products this year. If you're happy...

That sounds pretty unusual. You sure it wasn't a setup or Audyssey issue? I have never found Denon upper echelon receivers to be underpowered. We haven't reviewed the 4308 but did fine favorable results with the 5308. If you're looking solely at amp power, you may want to go with a less...

not yet, its a work in progress :D

I'd lean towards the Denon 4308CI or Yamaha RX-Z7 even though its not on your list. The Z7 is the most impressive receiver I have tested this year by far!

For a few hundred more, I think the Yamaha RX-Z7 is a better product from a performance and feature standpoint. I'd also imagine the RX-V3900 is nearly as good as the Z7 for less money than the SC-07. There are some that prefer the simplicity of the Pioneer and the "signature sound" of the ICE...

I find it ironic that a thread topic like this gets more feedback and attention than a flagship display or loudspeaker review. :rolleyes:

its either a spoof or a video game. Its too noisey and too easy to shoot down, plus it can't carry any serious armorment. I am pretty familiar with Lockheed Martin military equipment as I've been in the defense industry and this doesn't seem like something they would do. Besides, for missle...

Wow I need to start paying more attention to this. As for the lazy garbage men stories, I initially had similar issues when I first moved into this neighborhood but after the first xmas that I tipped my guys they literally bend over backwards now. I throw crates, yard trash, speaker boxes...

Not unless you can update the Pioneer with that specific mic's calibration file and also match the preamp drive level. Denon is the only one I know that allows for external mics other than the factory one that ships with the receiver.

Hmm, I didn't see it as an option and I sent this review to Pioneer for tech peer prior to publishing and they didn't say anything of the sort.

Wow at those prices, that system beats our $3500 Recommended Systems Guide. I wish it would stay at those prices all year round :rolleyes: Good luck with the setup and I hope he likes it.

Wow I didn't realize so many people resent their garbage men. :rolleyes:

If you're happy with its performance, why change it? Bench tests are usually much harder than real world test conditions. The current protection circuit on the Integra tripped during ACD test which isn't a very realistic test anyways. That is a really good receiver as well and in real...

Without a precondition filter, I could not accurately do an FFT distortion analysis for the reasons stated in my review. The inability of this receiver to drive a 4 ohm load continuously at full bandwidth is independent of this issue and a result of one or all three reasons I stated in the...

Trust me, public servants see little of that money. These guys earn it!
