#246786 - 02/13/09 05:03 PM One very important question! Denon 3808 and M80s
majik local Registered: 09/28/08 Posts: 275	Can the Denon 3808 drive the m80s at high volume for a long time... 5 or 6 hours? I'm hosting a party tomorrow and need to know. Don't want any mishaps. If not, is there any way I can use my onkyo 605 to push one while the 3808 pushes the other? Help me out here Axiomites! _________________________ - Majik Epic 80 system Ep 800 Denon 3808 Optoma HD20 PS3 vp180 extra QS8s (to come soon)

If it's inside a cabinet w/ poor ventilation, take it out and place it on the floor or at the top of the cabinet ... you get the idea. If it start to get very hot to the touch, put a fan directly to it and it should be ok. _________________________ The sailor does not pray for wind, he learns to sail. --Lindborg

You should probably set the max volume at a +5 or so in case a drunken guest gets the urge to crank it. I did that to mine after my damn remote stuck on me once.

Also, even if the Denon did shot down, which would be very unlikely your going to push it to those levels without pissing people off, all you would have to do is turn it back on, and maybe turn it down a few dB's. _________________________ M80s-VP180-QS8s-EP600-2xEP350 Denon3808 Outlaw7700 M22-OWM22-VP100-Denon2805 Audio Nirvana

How is that done or what section in menus/manual might I find directions. tks _________________________ Dave "In theory, practice and theory are the same. In practice they're not."
