Well it hasn't taken me 6 months nor 94 posts but your equipment selection looks like the conclusion I've come to. I too have ordered the Denon 3808 from Sixth Ave (thanks again mdrew). And I expect to be ordering 2 M80s, 1 VP150, 2 QS8s and 1 EP500 from the factory outlet sometime next week. My basement should be painted by the time they arrive.

I hope you enjoy your new equipment when it arrives terzaghi.
