Easily has to be the best of the year. Light years ahead of it's time.

Which theater did you go to? Reason I ask is because I could not disagree more.. I went to an ICON theater which was built in 2010.

I think your experience would have been better in a traditional RealD 3D theater versus IMAX. Unless a movie is shot entirely in IMAX I don't think it makes all that much sense to go see it. The 3D scenes were very blatant to me but in a good way and almost slightly annoying when they would...

EBay is your best bet for an item like this. Maybe craig's list too.

All the more reason you should update your thread!

Actually your statement isn't entirely true. I know for a fact the Blu-Ray version of Pan's Labyrinth is indeed a 7.1 DVD. The point is though, 7.1 media is very scarce and you probably shouldn't really worry about it. 5.1 or 6.1 is plenty for any home theater from low end to high end.

I use a Sony BDP-S300 with my 3803 and love it. I just use the analog outs as you're thinking and feel the lossless audio is superb. I will be waiting a while to upgrade my receiver and dvd player at the same time for 1/2 the price and all the features.

I have not had this issue. BR lets you switch tracks in the middle of the movie and the optical 5.1 track is just as loud as the uncompressed track through my analog outputs. I'm sure it's different from receiver to receiver though...

No problem. I used to think that as well, but it's anything but the truth. Some might even say analog is better. Good luck!

What John is saying is you will not benefit from using HDMI. Stick with component until you get an HDMI set.

You have to use 6 RCA cables which run from the analog outputs on the BR player to the analog "ext in" inputs on your 3803. It's one cable for each speaker in the 5.1 setup. Check out the back of your Denon and you will see a section of inputs called "EXT IN."

Nevermind, you are right. I just checked the Dolby site and it makes sense to use ProLogic IIx. Thanks!

Hmmm...I thought that mode was used for 2.0 tracks? I have used a 5.1 setup forever so I just don't keep up on all the crazy 6.1, 7.1, etc modes used...

You are likely to only get a few hundred bux for that 3803 and whatever you buy with that money to replace it will simply not be as good. If you decide to go Blu-Ray, there is a definite advantage to the audio tracks available on the BDs. I myself have a 3803 and have just resorted to using...

Hello, this is for a friend of mine... He has a Denon 3806 mated with a 7.1 paradigm setup. Now, when watching movies the sound seems to jump around the surround channels and basically sounds incorrect. This receiver has dozens of modes and settings you can change and we're having trouble...

Price lowered.

Your wire is showing signs of oxidation. Do you live near the ocean? Either way, you might want to get yourself something that is shielded a bit better. Is it turning green at the terminal where the wire is exposed as well?

For what it's worth, my Father has a Denon AVR-3600 (huge receiver) mated with some Monitor Gold Series towers. The sound is quite real and impressive. Imaging is near perfect and the presence is astounding.

Real nice! I'll look into those!

Yes, way too big.

I have looked into Orb Audio but do not know anyone who has heard them in person. What is your experience with them?

Hey! I thought I said no thrashing Bose! FYI - I have decided against it anyway. Still looking for a solid solution to obtaining a decent surround option.

Depends what receiver you go with. The 82s have a higher power requirement. Bigger speakers don't always mean better sound. Keep in mind, the markup on speakers is substantial. Don't be afraid to ask for a 20 or 30% discount off the asking price. For example, I bought my Denon 3803 about...

If you like bright sounding music/movies they are. That just doesn't fly well with my ears. It all depends on what you like and what sounds good to you. If you go to a decent demo room, they should be able to switch between speakers and receivers instantly so you can hear the difference.

Yes and the ceiling is cement.

What about these: http://www.orbaudio.com/ ??

Thanks Lance. I think you just talked me out of these speakers.

First of all it's PERRY! J/K. Happens all the time. I have the Reference Studio 60s version 3. Before purchasing Paradigm, I demoed dozens of other brands and in the end I simply found Paradigm to provide the best bang for the buck. They came out really close to a set of B&Ws, but they just...
