I personnally prefer the regular finish. Altough I agree the High Gloss is beautiful when you look at it for the sake of looking at it, I don't like anything that attracts my attention from the screen and/or listening. But, luckily, there are enough people liking different things that we have choices!

I opened up all the boxes. No scratches at all. I just placed them on the floor now and anxiously wait for the arrival of the AVR. The stands were all half assembled and ready to go.
Ok, first dumb question ... is it a bad idea to place a speaker right over or close to an air duct?

Not ideal but other than the dust particles continually showering it when the furnace kicks in, it shouldn't be a problem, as the stands will keep most of the heat at bay.

Ok, my receiver came and I hooked up the front L&R and centre speaker. I hooked up the subwoofer.
The CDs/DVDs/iPod all play beautifully. However, there is no sound from the subwoofer. Could it be because I have not hooked up the QS8s yet (I doubt so but I am asking anyway). I have also gone through the Yamaha auto setup and it could not detect the subwoofer. I try to flip the switch of the subwoofer to "active" but it shill couln't pick anything from the receiver. Can anybody help? Thanks a bunch.

The QS8's will have nothing to do with the sub. How do you have your sub hooked up?

I use the 12' subwoofer cable I purchased from Axiom to connect to the receiver.

Okay, the first thing(this isn't silly; it's happened before)is to look at the back of the 3800 very closely and make sure that you have the sub cable plugged in to the sub output in the pre-out section rather than the sub input in the section of multi-channel inputs.
If that isn't it, disconnect one of the mains and connect the speaker wire to the sub(disconnect the coaxial sub cable)as if it was a main speaker and play something that has significant bass in it(turn the frequency control on the sub all the way up)to see if there's sound.

Also, have you selected something in the AVR ala Pure Direct which disengages bass management? Can you verify that the material you are listening to requires your sub?
