Chuck, Thanks for the assessment. I went through the same process and I am very tempted by some of the 3803 features. I am trying to resist the urge to get the latest and somewhat greatest. I haven't been able to audition the 1082/3802-3803 side by side. Unless, I was completely taken by the...
Tom j. - As this is my first foray into audio equipment that can't be powered with batteries, you can take my assessment with a big grain of salt. In addition, I believe my speakers (Cambridge Sound Works Ensemble III) are probably the weak point in my system. I have listened to a range...
