Richie,
I have the A and B channels set so i can run all nine speakers at the same time when set to A & B channels or I can run only the A set or B set in the 7.1 mode. I hope you understand what I am saying.

I have a budget, but it is enough to get some faily good stuff. As I said I have been READING and have junked the YAMI idea and bought the Denon 3805. Axiom was nice enough to send me samples of the speaker outside colors/finishes and now it's all about ordering the M80's and VP150 to start. Oh Boy I can't wait to hear these babies!!!

OK....It is official, just completed the order for my M80's and VP150 in Mansfield Beech. Can't wait to get them!!!

That'll be a great-sounding setup, Alex. If you ordered regular stock you might get them Friday. If you ordered factory outlet for the 10% discount, even that might take a bit less than the 3 weeks.

Friday would be great! I didn not get them from the Factory Outlet, didn't want to wait.

Koiman:

I read the Denon 3805 manual, and I know that you can use both A and B speakers. But that gives you 7 speakers. How do you send power to the 8th and 9th speakers? I assume you have them plugged into the Surr.Back/MultiZone jacks. If you assign the unused amps. to the Back speakers, does that mean that the A and B speakers (4 speakers) are being powered by only 2 channels?

Alex:

Good luck! You will like the M80ti speakers!

Richie,
Yes you are correct you are using only 2 channels for the four A & B speakers. It is really nice through to be able to run either the QS8's the M80ti's or all in combination. When playing SACD or DVD-A I usually use the 4 m80ti's plus the VP 150 when watching TV or a movie I usually run them all.

Lee:

Thanks for the clarification! Now I will have to add 4 QS8 speakers to my wish list! I am sure I will be happier with a 9.1 channel (rather than 7.1 channel) system! :-)

Thanks Richie, Axiom emailed me they were shipped this morning FED EX and I should have them on Friday.....Hey that's Friday the 13th......dooooahhhhh! LOL!
