Thanks for the info. Jay. I would rather spend a max of about $1200, so without a deal, I have to re-evaluate. I wish I knew the percentage chance that I could just get an amp for the front channels and have it work. I looked today to see if I could find a 3808 (new), but haven't found a deal yet. That might be my best bet, but since I paid near top end when it first came out, I'm hoping to find a bargain. Should I also look for a 4308 model from the same era as my 3808 just so I feel like I got something new/better? That might be a way to go as well. Much to think about, but I feel more confident staying with denon now.
