spiff, sorry to see the Stratos go. It's hard enough GETTING the toys. To have to turn around and send them away is always sad. However, the big TV beckons.
John, wish I could help you out with the 2803. Let me suggest am alternative. With the intro of the 3805, some intense shopping might let you score a 3803 that a local business might be willing to part with for a 2803-ish price (or better). I was able to pull "Grand Theft Denon" on that basis last month. Frankly, getting one of the display/open models would be an excellent opportunity. If there was anything wrong with it, they would already know/fixed it. You'd get a full warranty. Take a quick look at the Denon site (they list authorized dealers somewhere in there) and see if it's worth a Saturday moring to check around.
You rarely see 2803 / 3803 on ecost (authorized Denon etailer for refurb & B-stock). ebay is another opportunity.
