ok so now that you have complicated this for me , pls help with simple answers since order going out in 15 minutes!! 1. i plan to use pre-outs from Denon 3808 into NHT P2 - should be ok? i understand the P2 has no volume control but happy to forego that for what appears to be much better amp overall (only reason was poor design - repeat click to switch zones - of Denon remote 2. balanced inputs - what is this? why do you suspect i don't need this (though i suspect you are right)?!

Balanced audio is for impedance balanced lines. They might be useful if long cables are needed – 10M. They are used to reduce noise over VERY long distances between electronics. I doubt your situation requires balance cables. Good luck!! Enjoy!

Actually running pretty long cable to the speakers since Amp etc sit at the opposite end of the room off at one corner - so one line runs 30 feet, the other 40 feet (yes, long distances) - all cable is 12AWG oxygen free copper (forget which brand was put in though) - is this going to be an issue and does it rule out the Power 2? In any case, even if a bit of an issue, alternatives are the HK 3490 or HK 990...

How are you connecting the amp to the Denon? The speaker wire has nothing to do with the rca type cables. Where will the amp be in relation to the Denon?

Amp sits next to Denon 3808 - pre-outs from Denon to go to the Power 2 (if I get that) - L & R speakers (M80s) are 30+ and 40+ feet away, at the opposite end of the room.. Problem due to this balanced input issue? THanks.

Balanced inputs are for the audio signal from the processor to the amplifier. Most people just use standard RCA type interconnects.

Mark is right you won't run into any problems. You can forget about the balanced cable issue, it doesn't apply to you.
