Well, I got the WAF to get a new receiver. I'm leaning towards the Denon 3808CI. I was thinking about an Onkyo 906 or 876, but something in my gut tells me to stay with Denon. My 2805 has bee rock solid with no problems, and still looks like new. I probably will move it up to the living room with my plasma.
I know Denon is planning on releasing some new models sometime in May or after, however, from what I've heard there will not be a direct replacment for the 3808, you either will go down in power and lose some features, or have to jump up a lot to the 4xxx series.
I don't think getting the new Dolby PLIIz will help me in anyway as I don't plan to put front "high" surrounds ever. I don't even have wiring for that...
So, I'm leaning towards the 3808 from 6ave for $1098.

Hey, they are having a "name your own price deal" until the 21st. I first tried $895 and they declined. The price on the website is down to $1028 now..

Hmmmmm, I could buy one to replace my dead one(still waiting for it to come back from the repair shop) and have it shipped to my sister's in San Fran, then up to me........... darn, shipping costs and assorted other costs, still too much for me right now  I had a good laugh yesterday the store I bought my 3808 from has it 'on sale' for $1488 in the ad I saw, with the regular price listed as $1988. Their regular price for it is $1598 right now and when I bought mine back in 2007 it WAS $1498, what a scam.
