I found a deal on a set of Energy Veritas V2.3 but am wondering if my Denon 2808 will be enough to run them. Any opinions? Thanks.

Quite easily. Some might even call it a dream-system. Me for instance!

(They're 8 Ohm with no nasty 4 Ohm dips; you've nothing to worry about)

Bi-amping v2.3 with avr-2808

After listening to the bi-wired towers for a few days I decided to reassign my rear surround channels, since I was not using them, and bi-amp the v2.3s.

In my opinion bi-amping made a world of difference for the v2.3s. After bi-amping the towers it seems like the sound is drawn out into the room much better and it is like you are more in the center of the sound.

I had a few problems when I first bi-amped the v2.3s. You have to reassign the rear channels and set the front speaker options to bi-amp A or bi-amp B. After I set the option for the fronts to bi-amp A I was only getting sound from two of the four front channels. It took me a little wile to figure it out but you have to change the front set-up to A+B to get sound out of all four front channels when bi-amping. Maybe this is something that would be obvious to someone with more experience than me but it was not obvious to me from reading the manual or reading about bi-amping the avr-2808 online.

I don't know about the V2.3 but the V2.3i does dip down to 4 ohms. Depending on how loud you listen, and room size/acoustic, the 2808 could do a good job with them.
