Ken.C shareholder in the making Registered: 05/03/03 Posts: 17371 Loc: NoVA	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. _________________________ DON'T... call me stupid!

Ken, do dealers lower their prices when your parents are around?? _________________________ ::::::: “Yum. I'd love to gnaw on those with my ears." :::::::

Floyd newbie Registered: 12/02/11 Posts: 2	Originally Posted By: Ken.C 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.

Gary Vose Sr local Registered: 03/17/12 Posts: 298 Loc: Casa Grande, AZ	Great deal, can't wait for your impressions on the 809. I'm looking to purchase from the company later on as well. _________________________ "When arguing with an IDIOT... make sure the person you're talking to... isn't doing the same."
