Well getting back to the topic. What do you think of the 2809? Even though is a 2 years ago model, it seems nice to me. I was gonna get the 608, but then someone told me to get the 707 because of Audissey mult EQ feature, since I have already spent my whole budget on the speakers I was considering getting a little bit cheaper receiver. The 707 here is still expensive. My initial idea was to spend max of $1300 on speakers. After talking to people here I just ended up spending $700 more. LOL So I need to save somewhere since I am getting a little bigger TV also.
