No where near the power limits of the 3808 most of the listening was done around 80db and even at lower levels 65-70db, the differences were still noticeable. All I can say is I am not crazy, as my wife and Mel heard the differences too. Maybe my 3808 maybe was defective which may have caused it to blow up when all it should have done was cut out when I shorted the wires. This is a possiblity and may affect the SQ I have been hearing. I will have to reserve some of my judgement till I get my 3808 back from the shop, hopefully this week.
