Sorry about the new thread. I figured everyone lost interest in the other one.
I called Denon to ask them about the debate over Authorized dealer as opposed to non-authorized and they said if you buy the receiver from most places, they will warranty the receiver for 2 years. The exception being anything coming out of Brooklyn, NY. He said there are certain companies they will just not deal with. That said, I asked him about the wholesale company selling the 3808 for $500 less than retail and he said anything off of Amazon is covered by the full warranty. So, to answer your question, yes I am getting a pretty good deal, but it is NIB, not refurb or B stock.
So, anyone out there have a preference between the M60 or M80 as there is nowhere I can go to listen to these?
