I would think, there is a 3809 in the works isn't there? the last two numbers are for the year the model came out correct?

I asked the same question here a couple of months ago before buying, and was told that since the 3808 is "upgradeable", there weren't plans for a 3809.
I don't think the model numbers correspond with year...though I might be wrong. I believe, for instance, that the 2809 has been out for quite awhile. Of course, they might do the same as auto manufacturers and introduce model years early???

I wonder if the same goes for my 2809?

I can see Paul's point and would agree with him based on my very little knowledge of electronics, he's not saying the amplifier portion of the receiver is coloring the sound but the pre and processing elements of the receiver can color the sound ... thus the reason there could be a difference in sound between a dedicated amp and a receiver. The above article is only comparing amps to amps, not amp/processors to receivers.

how about the Denon 2809 vs. 3808? For the average user (powering the m80's) do I need to pay the extra for the 3808?

Both will power the M80s, the 3808 has a bit more power and some other features on it. (I have 2809, waiting on M80s)

Also, if I remember correctly the 2809 does not have pre-outs if you ever decide to add an additional amp ... which may, or may not be a concern.

Yes, it does. I was just on Denons' site so I looked it up...

That's the 2309, Rick (no pre), the 2809 has them.
