    Denon AVR-5805.........Second look:Wow!

    if i had the money i would go for the 5805. it has everything i could ever need for years to come. it's just i run powered speakers so i don't need the amplifier in the denon, but if they could make a preamp/pro that is identical to the 5805 (just with no amp, of course) then never-mind a turkey...

    What dose 350k buy one for 2-Mono Block Amps

    wow......wow.. not the amp, the price tag. the amp looks nice but come on, 350 grand, now that's some serious "my stereo's better than your stereo" money. i know most people buy BOSE stuff because it becomes some status symbol at those cocktail-weenie party's where everybody's impressed...

    Bose Is Boss

    i never liked the idea that many auto manufactures offer Bose as the "premium" audio package and usually this package will cost you an extra $800 or even more above the "stock" audio system. i believe if you want great sound in your ride, ask for the "lowest" audio package and save your money...
