OK gang of wizards, I received my new Oppo DVD today and was going to order a Denon 3805 tonight. Looked through some additional threads to confirm my decision and now am totally confused and, once again, am in your hands to help me finalize my decision.
1) 3805, 10 devices, 100 watt, 0.50 thd @ $725
2106, 8 devices, 100 watt, 0.08 thd @ $500
2805, 14 devices, 100 watt, 0.05 thd @ $ 650
2) Please tell me what the 3805 will do that the 2805 won't. Price is only $75 difference, but the 2805 appears to have better clarity if I understand correctly.
I need to meet with the tax man at the end of the month. If all goes as planned, I'll pull the trigger on the M60-500 package as soon as I get home. I would like to have a receiver sitting here waiting to hear how awesome the Axiom speakers sound. I really appreciate all of your comments and suggestions.

Kim, what did you mean by "devices"? The 3805 has slightly(insignificant)more power and the Denon link for connection with a single cable in DVD-A/SACD with certain of their high-priced players. No, there's nothing indicated about "clarity".

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

The devices were listed in the description at the Denon site. I assumed that was how many components you could link together????
Will the single link work with the Oppo DVD player I just purchased?
Regarding the clarity, I thought you wanted the lowest total harmonic distortion for better sound. Am I wrong on this?
Thanks,
Kim

Okay, Kim, I haven't looked, but maybe that's what they mean by devices; if so it doesn't have much meaning.
No, the Denon Link is proprietary and, as noted, works only with a couple of their most expensive players.
That difference in THD is far below audibility. Results vary slightly, but blind listening tests indicate that when using music(not test tones)THD doesn't become audible until it exceeds about 1.0%.

I just received my new speakers from Axiom. I went with the 60's, 4 of the QS8's, 150 and EP500. Can't wait to get some wires run and hear first hand what I've been reading about the last 8 weeks. Thank you to all for your input and suggestions!
