Kind of makes ya wonder why so many useless amp companies keep making that junk, Axiom included What a blanket statement John. You see now that seems like a good reason to consider getting to know you as being dangerous.

Rick, note that I specifically limited the blankety nature(blanketyness?)by using the term "unnecessary".

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

But neither of us know if an amp would be "unnecessary" in this case. The only one that can accurately make that call is Bob.

I say enjoy the 2309 and forget about the lack of pre-outs. That is, unless you live in USA and then you can call the folks at 6ave.com and purchase a 3808 for $1100 or less with no tax or shipping fees- which may not be much more than what you paid for the 2309 after tax (if you paid full MSRP at a B&M store.) However, I think you have nothing to worry about- you have purchased a much better receiver than the majority of the receiver owners out there . Sometimes you just need to enjoy having something that is great and not worry about having something you think is better that you don't actually need. Whoa... Did I just say that? I better go to bed before I convince myself that I don't need an ep800 and an a-1400 amp

Paid $599 for the 2309. Can't see paying twice that right now. Wish it had pre-amp outs though.

Bob, the 2809 has pre-amps...in Canada it can be had for 799.00 Cn so you should be able to find one under 700.00 US easily.

I don't know, but I bet Linus would crap a Great Pumpkin if he heard someone saying blankets were unnecessary.

Bob, I would CALL 6ave and ask them how much the 2809 is going for with the AVS special, the 3808 is $1100 with this special, so I would guess the 2809 is in that $700-800 range. If you really want an avr with pre outs just in case it won't suffice on it's own, which I think it will, very easily. Those that want or need more power have special circumstances, extra large rooms or just really like their systems LOUD.
