Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $1699.00 from Amazon

Summary:
This is without a doubt the best value AVR on the market today. The things this black box can do are just short of a computer with a sound card on steroids. If you want excellent surround sound, networking, & upgradability the 3808 is the ticket.
I like to tweek things, and being able to do that from my laptop makes it very easy. With a laptop I can access just about every feature and adjust/control it.

If you are in the market for a new AVR I would make sure you check the 3808 out.

Strengths:
Features
Sound Quality
Upgradeable
XM/Sirius
Networking

Weaknesses:
The remote(s) should be used to collect dust as a paper weight on top of the manual. I guess Denon had to cut the cost somewhere and they did it in the remote department.

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
