<font color='#000000'>Bruce; You can't always believe what you hear on forums.  This is especially true for what you hear over at AVS.  With the exception of a few, many of the people are misinformed and evaluating a product based on marketing literature that is known to have misprints or...

<font color='#000000'>Yamahaluver; I do agree with you, especially about some of the low $$$ digital amps. &nbsp;The Outlaw amp I believe is Class B and switches to G during high output. &nbsp;I am also not a fan of amps that employ trackdown converters such as those from Sunfire. &nbsp;IMO...

<font color='#000000'>Polks LSI series looks impressive. &nbsp;They are using pretty high end Vifa tweeter that measures quite well and used by many high end companies. &nbsp;If they implemented it right, it should be a good speaker. &nbsp;The reviews are positive on these speakers in many...

<font color='#000000'>It will probably be a year or so before Yamaha offers products to bridge the gaps between the 2400 and Z1 and Z9.... Kinda odd, but that seems to be the plan.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Rob/All; Since AVS has implemented a no Audioholics.com link policy, we have no choice but to do the same. &nbsp;Please refrain from posting links to that website on these forums. &nbsp;Thank you.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Ray; I don't understand. &nbsp;Most of the new DVI capable players currently available do not have this interface active since the standard has not been fully set. &nbsp;How are you seeing this?</font>

<font color='#000000'>Damping factor is somewhat of a meaningless spec. &nbsp;Any modern design solid state amplifier has low enough output impedance to yield a damping factor above 50 or so. &nbsp;IN reality a damping factor greater than that really makes no audible difference and is mostly...

<font color='#000000'>Yes. &nbsp;It will be in my part II write upo coming soon...</font>

<font color='#000000'>Thanks for the age compliment Bob  Actually I turn 30 next month   As for jobs, you may not be aware but Audioholics isn't my day job.  I work (in a Dilbert cube) as a Design Engineer by day for a government defense company and as a diehard Audioholic by night  </font>

<font color='#000000'>Actually the RX-V1400 and 2400 have the ability to switch off the back channels in favor of front effects (presence). &nbsp;I am pretty sure if you add an external two channel amp, you can have 7.1 + front effects. &nbsp;If my suspicions are correct, than the ultimate for...

<font color='#000000'>All; I was very fortunate to be invited to a private showing of Yamaha's latest product offerings last month in Ft. Lauderdale. &nbsp;Check out the details and sneak peeks of products to come.... Yamaha 2003 Private Showing of New Products</font>

<font color='#000000'>Hi Ray; Yamaha as well as most receiver vendors state 6 ohm minimum to receive UL approval regarding haet dissipation limits, power consumption, etc. &nbsp;I can assure you that the Z9 will have no troubles driving reasonably efficient 4 ohm loads. &nbsp;The RX-Z1 and...

<font color='#000000'>Bob; Thanks for your feedback.  Actually my review is over 14 pages in Word   In all likelyhood, I will be doing a part II or &quot;Long Term&quot; evaluation of this product in the near future since there are other features mentioned in a previous post, as well as...

<font color='#000000'>Guys, Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated.  The AVR-5803 is such a sophisticated and complex piece.  It was very challenging to cover all of the major feature of the unit and keep the review from running to novel length.  Peter, you are correct, it is very...

<font color='#000000'>I highly encourage our readership to peruse Rods website as an excellent and very truthful resource. Elliot Sound Productions Rod is an active participant here. &nbsp;Perhaps I will email him to join in the discussion.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Here is my review of the Denon AVR-5803 A/V receiver. &nbsp; Exclusive Audioholics Review of the Denon AVR-5803 A/V Receiver I should have the Denon DVD-2900 review up by next week.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Pete; I assume you are currently using a Denon AVR-5803 in your set-up and are referencing the volume levels accordingly to the units master volume level. &nbsp;If so, it sounds like you are not driving the receiver very hard and it should be able to handle your...

<font color='#000000'>Monotech; Firstly, I think it is a great idea for the receiver to be the demarcation point for video switching and upconversion.  Rest assured with the horsepower of the Z9, it will probably do a better job of upconverting and de-interlacing than most flagship DVD players...

<font color='#000000'>My review of the AVR-5803 is complete. &nbsp;Denon is currently reviewing it to make sure I didn't make any technical errors or oversights. &nbsp;It should be posted in about a week or less. &nbsp;Thanks for your patience. &nbsp;</font>

<font color='#000000'>Yes I noticed the power chord placement. &nbsp;This is probably due to the innovative modular design.</font>
