Just tried to look up the specs on the TV...but, the only thing I could find is that the LCD has HDMI with HDCP. Not sure if it's 1.3a...as I couldn't find the specs, even on the manufacturers' site.

Hmmm....

Oh, and as for HDMI cables...I only have the two so far...one for the DTV box to receiver and one for the receiver to the TV. Never had HDMI cables before, since the HK never accepted those types of connections.

I'd also like to throw out a 'thank you' to mdrew for the head's up about the special on the Denon 3808 from Sixth Ave. I saved a load of $$ compared to the price I would have paid here. I'm in Canada and they don't ship here, so I had it shipped to a postal service in Neche ND. I'm going to drive down and pick it up when it arrives.

If there are any other Canucks from Manitoba out there that are a reasonable distance from Neche and want info on the postal service, just PM me.

Good Stuff... I've been all over the place on what AV to upgrade to, but the 3808 has been on my short list.

I thought that I had to settle on the M60's though I really wanted the M80's. I did not want to turn my decision into a long math problem, but if the 3808 will drive the M80's without issue then it makes the journey easier. \:\)

My little 1804 drives the M80s to very loud volumes, don't fret over the 4 ohms.

JakeWash--- If your 1804 drives your M80's to very loud volumes, the I feel really really solid about my choice of a Denon 1804 thru 3808... Done deal! Thanks for the feeback!

So now my concern is which model from 1804 - 3808. Which is a fun problem to have....

That new GUI on the 3808 looks to good to pass up if you can afford it. The lower series do not have this.....yet. The few extra watts of power and a few more bells and whistles doesn't hurt either. I am lookin at nothing less than the 2308 and up as they have the HDMI upconversion from all input sources.

Back surround speaker channels re-assignable for bi-amping front left and right speakers!

So 260W/channel up front guys. Rock on!

Is that enough head room for you above the 1/2 watt nominal?

I've driven my 2105 well beyond its rated spec of 90W/channel with no issue.

And last week, I drove M80s/M60s/M22s/M3s/Bose601s...all in parallel at the same time \:o \:D .
