Well, the Denon 3808 at $1000-ish and 130 wpc x 7 and 39 lbs would seem to be heftier than a Yamaha RX-V663 at $410-ish and 26 lbs, no? I'm not trying to be argumentative here, just trying to understand what does/doesn't work, and to make a decision to stick with M60/RX-V668 or go M60/3808 or M80/3808.
