Eh-xcellent. My parents are visiting for the week, so I'm using that as an excuse to see if they put the thing on free shipping or drop the price any more. If no, well, I'll probably buy it anyway in a week or two.

This series was thought of very highly on other forums Yeah, but we don't care about other forums!  Ken, do dealers lower their prices when your parents are around??

No, but if my parents are around, I won't be able to do anything with a new receiver in any case, so I might as well wait, eh?

Thanks, Floyd. Any heat issues or reliability problems? None whatsoever, although not pushing it too hard re heat. I'm driving my RF/LF speakers from an external amp. So, mine will be running a bit cooler but have to say it doesn't feel warm at all running SR/SL/Center of my 5.1 set-up which uses M22s, QS8s,VP150. I haven't seen any real critical issues with this model at all at another forum 809 owner's thread.

Very good, Ken; but it's disappointing that A4L didn't drop the price further in honor of your folks' visit.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

I gotta know, JP, what did you slip into my burger today? And can I get a supply?

Great deal, can't wait for your impressions on the 809. I'm looking to purchase from the company later on as well.
With out Jesus Christ there can be no Redemption or Salvation.
