Great price on the 3805!!! Are you related to the salesman? .

I considered separates, but finally opted for the Denon 3803. Excellent feature set for the price (less expensive than mst quality pre.pros and generally more features/flexibility). The 3803 can act as a pre/pro and I can add a big honkin' amp later if I feel the urge to sepnd mpore money . All in all, a nice compromise. You will be happy with the 3805.
