Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Reciever quandry

Grats on the order. I called about the 3805 they have but it won't be available for shipping till Oct 31st...Still waiting to hear back from my local guy about a better price on the 2805 or the 3805. Now i gotta ask about a moisterizer??

The quandry continues..hehe

Sweet,

2805 being delivered Monday.

Cheers!!

If you guys find a really good deal on a 3805 that can ship in the next 2 weeks, PLEASSSEEE!! let me know. I'm jonesin to get my hands on one.
I was looking for something a little easier on the pocket book, but remembered that the 3rd is my 40th b-day so I thought I'd treat myself to something other than a red sports car.

Bruce - I'm really happy for you. A 3803 for the price I suspect you paid is grand theft audio!!! I hope you get the same pleasure from yours as I am experiencing from mine. By the way, do all 3803 owners get to kiss your wife? .

There is an interesting quirk about this beast that I want to pass on. Hook it to your TV with an S-video cable. This is required for you to be able to see/use the On Screen Display and get through the setup menu for all of you settings.

Also, if by chance you have a Home Theater MX-700 remote, there is a file at Remote Central created by a gentleman named David Gray. It has EVERY remote command available for Denon receivers. I have set up 3 devices on the MX-700 - RECVR (for HT), TUNER (AM/FM radio specific) and SPKR (every one of my speakers now have individual up and down controls, including the sub!). I even added SUB+ and SUB- to all of my component devices on the remote. Serious simplicity when calibrating. As a matter of fact, with what you saved on the 3803, the MX-700 would be worthwhile to consider even if only for the flexibility it provides for the 3803. New is $350, but open box from an authorized dealer is around $190. PM me if you want more info.

Enjoy the 3803!!!!

I'm sorry, Ray, but I don't think she is as liberal as that. As far as I know, she only kisses one future 3803 owner. Please forgive me if I got you worked up for nothing.

if it was my choice between a new receiver and a new red sports car, it would not be a hard decision!!

go ahead and get the car, then put a bad-a$$ system in it.. that way, you get the best of both worlds.

I checked on my order this morning. The web site says my future receiver is in stock. However, when I check my order status, it says it is back ordered. Should I start to worry about this, or is it common practice? On the phone the rep said the 3803 weighs 61 pounds, so I have to pay a pretty hefty chunk for shipping. I have the feeling they must be taping lead inguts to the box. I don't think the 3803 weighs 60 pounds.

The Denon 3803 weighs 36.4 pounds out of the box.

A discontinued item listed as back ordered would concern me. Try to get ahold of someone at the company.

I called the online store in question this morning. The rep says it is shipping out today. I'll believe it when I see the tracking numbers. Asked the rep about the weight descrepancy, said I would be credited the shipping difference when it ships out and then she abruptly hung up. My 21 year old son said he wants one also. I can tell he's hoping I give it to him as a XMAS present. H-m-m-m. What's a Dad to do? Do I make him really happy on XMAS or do I make him insanely jealous in October??
