I can't speak for the 3805, but I can for the 2805. I absolutely love the Denon/Axiom combination. Like Nick, a few months back I was back and forth between the Denon 2805/Elite 53 or 54tx/Yammy 1400. I had opportunities to listen to all of them on various speakers like B&W, NHT, Klipsch, and a few others. I was worried about all the hype on AVS, Axiom, and other forumns regarding terms like Bright, Warm, Harsh, .....yaada yada yaada (ok so I like Seinfeld) Anyway, after talking to Alan, Brent, Joe from Axiom, and others on this website, I ended up going with the Denon. For me, the combination seems perfect. The sound is so accurate and detailed, it is hard for me to imagine it getting any better. In the past I was always a Pioneer fan, and I was this >< close to getting the Elite. But things happen for a reason. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the choices your looking at, just look at all the options and pick one the best fits your needs, and never look back...
