Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Denon reciever problem

Wheelz:
Where are you located?

Peterborough. My friends are great and help me out, basically doing what I tell them. But they don't know anything about the extensive home theaters except for maybe a Future Shop "home theater in a box" :-). Two of my friends were here helping me out last weekend with my problems and neither of them have heard of a ground loop hum which is pretty basic, and one of them is a certified electrician.

I about to return my Onkyo 805 and pull the trigger on the Denon 2308 or 2808. Suggestions, comments, and where can I get a good deal on line for Denon products. Thanks.

Any particular reason you're returning the Onkyo? You sounded pretty happy with it 2 hours ago.

Take a look at this thread. I as well as others have posted various web sites and pricing.

heheheh...after reading many bad reps about the 805 here.

Well, after reading many post here about the 805. Seems everyone here is itchy about the Onkyo.

The new Onkyos are reported as being much better with the 4 ohm loads, I would try running it very loud, as loud as you would ever have it and see if it shuts down, if it doesn't it keep it.

Except me who has been running it very loudly for over 4 months without a hint of clipping or anything with my M80s. Lots of that itchiness comes from older models. 805 has new amps and, most importantly, a brand new power supply design. They are rated and tested at 3.2Ohms with 5 channels driven.

Yes Matt, audio discussion boards sometimes circulate notions about certain makes of receiver that have no basis in fact(e.g. the "bright" Yamahas). Disregard this and enjoy the sound from your 805.
