Interesting from a whoa, look at the size of that receiver point of view:

Denon

Lorenzo;

If I get a 5805 will you get one, too?

Mark

Hmmmm, that would require some serious cash. Plus with the size of that thing i would need a bigger house.

BTW Mark, I don't think i have a trigger out on my HK AVR-7200 receiver for the MM9000 but it looks like it will work with a video source, what do you think?

Audioholics has posted a lot of information from yesterday's Denon Press Release should you be interested.

I don't know... For $6000, I'd prefer something like this:

Okay....Who's gonna loan me $6,000....

Just look for a new credit card offer with 0% interest on balance transfers for the life of the balance, then charge it to an existing card and transfer the balance...

That's one way to do it, anyway.

Nice photoshopping...

It's been a while.

wheres the button that makes the shuttle go into its roll sequence??

Funny you should mention that since a "Shuttle Roll" feature was included in the first few test models of this receiver. It turns out its existence was due to a big misunderstanding and was removed from subsequent models as soon as it was discovered.

You see, during the prototype stage, one of the designers was complaining that he thought consumers would want some really snazzy features if they were going to have to pay $6000 for a receiver, so he suggested all sorts of things be added on: a clock that projects the time onto the ceiling, a holographic remote control, a user-selectable sound feedback scheme (similar to custom ringtones for cell phones), etc. His boss was getting sick and tired of all his suggestions and yelled "Shut your hole!"

Thinking his boss had just made a genius suggestion, the designer got to work right away.

Haha. Nice call Peter. I talked myself OUT of doing that last night for a new 15in Powerbook! But, Citibank and Providian are hell bent on extending me credit right now!

For that kind of money(or even a lot less) and bulk I would go with a separate processor and amp. When the time comes to upgrade the amps will still be fine.

wow Denon is finnaly putting real powersupplys in their recievers?

hehe
