Rookie, you should be able to find that 2809 much, much cheaper than $1200 US. I'm new to this forum myself, you may want to ask some of the senior members here if you really NEED 7.1 over 5.1. Maybe the extra $$ is better spent on the receiver vs the extra surrounds...just a thought.

If you go to the Denon website you can do comparisons between thwe models to see exactly what the differences are. You can also call Denon Tech support. I found them very helpful and courteous. I believe the 3808 can get software upgrades off the computer.
I purchased a 2309 and plan on running the Epic 80-350. (I'm buying in pieces. Just ordered a pair of M9o's and an EP350) I'm planning on this sounding awesome. I probably would have gone for the 2809 if I had a few more bucks.)
What led you to Axiom?

My opinion is that any improvement from 5.1 to 7.1 is heavily dependent upon your room configuration, and may not be worth it for many people.
72% of JP's statistics are totally made-up.
The 3808 has a nicer user interface and built-in ethernet streaming. If you have many computer-based audio files and will not have a computer co-located with the theatre system, it might be a good way to access that content.

With Bluray and the new HD DTS and Dolby, I wonder if that is still true? It has got to be better then PLIIx which I use all the time.

Gee, I made it all the way to Veteran status without Alan answering any of my posts. How about if I say that I want to spend 6 grand?
