Thanks guys for your advice - this forum is great!. I went ahead and orderded the Denon 3808 from 6ave for $1098 delivered. And no, i did not gave you guys in. Since I got my speakers last night, I couldn't wait for this new SN to be out. Oh...I gotta tell you! Those speakers on the HGC are so beautiful that makes everything else in the house look very cheap. Congrats on the purchase. I have been bouncing back and forth between keeping my Onkyo 805, upgrading to the 80s and getting them their own amp, or upgrading to the 80s and getting the Denon like yours. Someone in another thread thought you had an old Onkyo as well. Did you test anything with the Onkyo at all. Also, just off hand, when you called 6ave.com for the price on the Denon did you just call the toll free number on the front of there page or did you have to call another number to get the quote.

I called the main 800 number, and talked to a sales guy named David I think. I just said "Hey, I saw the Denon's MSRP on your site, I know you have to post that, but nobody pays MSRP. What's the best price you can give me?" and he said "1098 shipped" and I said "OKAY!"

Omahablu,
No, I have not had a chance to try my Onkyo on them yet. I hope I will have a chance this weeknend. To tell you the truth, I was not ready to order the speakers yet. I am remodeling the house right now and it is one hell of a mess right now, but I wanted to take advantage of the promotion axiom had with the HG cherry finish. I am glad I did. I don't know how the regular cherry finish looks, but these HG are exceptional. I e-mailed Alan from axiom about the differences between the HG synthetic and the real wood ones and he told me he couldn't tell the difference...he had to actully smell them to tell the difference. I belive him now. These speakers will be the nicest piece of furniture I will have on my living room. I don't know if this helps you or hurts you on your decision. I know I had a hard time. On 6 ave. deal. I e-mailed their live chat thing on the web and I mentioned that I had read on some online forums about this deal and I also mentioned that I could get this reciever for about $1050 from a non-authorized dealer. Scott replied back and said that they could honor the $1098. So called him up to place an order. His ext is 8632. I think all can do that. Good luck.
Yes, when I am done with everything I will post a picture. That may be a littl while.

Nah, that's a myth. Kids do fine without food and clothes.
