Mojo, thanks for posting that info. All those stats make my brain hurt. So it looks like the 3808 will definitely work unless they have some new technology built into it the will not work with the 4ohm speakers.
So, on to the second part of my question. Is it possible to purchase a component set that will produce better sound than the 3808 in the same price range? If so, what are your suggestions?
Also, is there a huge difference in sound between the m60 and m80? I know this is all relative, but is it worth the extra $ for the m80's? I have a smaller room, but I may be moving them to the basement(bigger) down the road.
In side by side comparison the M80 sounds more forward and detailed at lower volumes than the M60. I noticed a lack of forwardness when I received M60s and had M22s to compare them to. I now have M80s.
As far as seperates go I think you would end up paying a few dollars more for them compared to the Denon, the Sherwood Newcastle separates Axiom sells is more than the Denon by a few bucks $3400 for both pre/pro and amp.
And just to further boost you about Denon's robust amplification I own the 1804, mid-line model, and it ran my M22s and VP150 in parralel, about a 3 ohm load, as a center channel with no problems.
