I am pretty sure the 5805 also had Burr brown 1792s. When you get to that quality level of dac, its more about implementation than anything which Denon has always excelled in. From an audio standpoint the 5805 had superior components overall, not just b/c of higher power. It was a different...

Agreed b/c the new Klipsch and Energy high compression subs are well engineered, though its probably not that evident as it like pulling teeth to get review units. Since Sunfire lost the lawsuit patent on small long throw drivers, other companies are now producing excellent products as well...

Before choosing a sub, first make sure its practical in your listening space. You will notice forum members jumping on with immediate recommendations for online subwoofer solutions most of which are 2-3 times the size of the ones you are considering. Its easy to not realize this until you get...

I just peered Clint's review and added measurements. After Denon does a tech peer / fact check, it will go online, probably this Friday or next Monday. Overall the product did well but don't expect 5805 level amplifier performance, nor is posturing that either :eek:

Anyone is welcome to register to our event. I don't have any direct contact with Roger but I'd be willing to waive his registration fee if he would like to attend simply b/c he is an industry insider and has been a veteran of it for so long. for demo rooms thats true, but I am still signing...

No necessarily. You can run them in parallel and take an average distance and calibrate them with both pairs running at the same time like 1 bigger speaker but it usually isn't as good as running them with independent trim and delay settings. Its definately worth a try though.

Our demo rooms are already packed with equipment from our sponsors so there is no availability. Honestly I am not a big fan of line array type speakers using all the same drivers like those. A 3 1/2" mid is too small to be a good woof and too big to be a good tweet IMO and they usually involve...

Some and I need to write this up. Audio Precision and Sencore will be showing off test gear.

Yes though I did miss the words in the opening song which makes Behind the Lines so powerful. Come to think of it, I think I will listen to Duke on SACD tonight. :D

Huh? what does streaming HD material have to do with our event? There will be blu ray players in every room and you can be sure everything will be running hi def.

you really need a receiver/preamp with independent channel trims and delays to run multiple surrounds. I don't recommend paralleling 2 pairs of surround speakers of just 2 channels as you will likely not be able to level match and time align. My personal preference is direct radiators (mono...

Great actor and nice guy, lets hope he pulls through this one: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080804/ap_on_en_mo/morgan_freeman

By Duke, I meant the main song from the album Duke but I can see what you mean . I always referred to Behind the Lines as Duke since I was a kid. Also at the end of Cinema Show if I am not mistaken, they blend it into the last song from the Duke Album via an instrumental when they usually...

The idea with the AS-EQ1 is to use one unit with two subs properly placed and equadistant from the listening area. Thus 4 subs require 2 units. The SMS-1 is virtually useless unless you have a more accurate way of measuring the response such as a 1/12th octave or better audio analyzer. I...

You may want to rethink that b/c I am likely not throwing another SOTU event for a few years. It's a lot of work and effort to get people registered and we could all use a break for a while on these.

of course those attending our SOTU event will get the geniune article for FREE ;)

What errors? I am interesting to know if I called out a song title wrong or something since I am familiar with all things Genesis :eek:

This is surprising as I have found the 5805 to sound stellar in Bi-amp mode. Its got the largest power supply ever put in a receiver and a superb DAC section. You may want to make sure the amps are level matched will making this comparison. Also make sure the bass management is disabled on...

I lost all interest in XM radio when they discontinued the Progressive Rock channel.

you can use the standalone Audyssey mic and preamp and do 32 point calibration. The 5805 mkii lacks the added memory module to do this. See: http://www.audioholics.com/news/trade-show-coverage/2006-cedia-expo/denon-avr-5805ci-av-receiver for more details.
