Please help me understand the following. I have a new Denon 3806 I use with a Pioneer Elite 45 A DVD/CD player for movie watching using a 5.1 speaker set up. I want to use the same DVD player to feed a signal to a vintage pre amp for 2 channel music listening (pre amp connected to 2 other...

THANK YOU Shane! This is exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunatelly what this means is that I am for now only getting 420P resolution since I have a Pioneer Elite 45 A which through component video only puts out 420P and the 3806 passes this through to my current TV as such. My current TV...

Once again sorry if I am taking this thread a different direction but so I fully understand is it the case then that the "upscaling" can be done by either the DVD player, the receiver, or the TV/Projector such that in the signal path ONE of these components must be capable of doing it if the...

Just so I nuderstand, when the HD format war is settled and I buy a HD DVD player it will be able to connect to the 3806 and then have the 3806 connect to the TV via HDMI and 1080P resolution will be displayed on the screen, meaning the 3806 will not be a hinderance to the high deffinition...

"Denon recievers are fantastic. The 3806 does what it's supposed to do, I'm sure, and does it well. For my own purposes, however, (and for $100 more, retail), I wanted something that could upconvert DVD's native 480i into the HD realm of 1080i/720p onto HDMI. The Yamaha 2600 does this, whereas...

So is there a generally accepted set-up which yields the best sound?. I know this is highly subjective but from a purely "scientific" point of view, if there is such a thing here, is one set-up supposed to be better than another for sound/music reproduction?. I can either buy monoblocks or 2...

For speakers which can accept 2 amps (4 speaker posts) what is the generally accepted fact as to the set-up which yields the best sound. Is it using 2 monoblock amps to power each speaker or is it using 2 amps which are 2 channel each and having each amp power the "lower" set of speaker posts in...

I have an opportunity to purchase a set of B&W as well as a set of M&K speakers. I am very familiar with B&K but know nothing of M&K as a company/speaker maker. Can anyone please let me know how M&K compares to B&W as far as buily quality, reputation as a good speaker company, and anything...

Thanks for the response. Since posting this I have looked at several other amps for my home set up and I am down to two brands: Carver or Adcom. As far as the Adcom I like the GFA 555 rated at 200W into 8 ohms, and can be bridged. Has anyone here been lucky enough to have listended to both...

Thank you all for the response. It sounds like the Revel F12 are the hands down favorite. What is strange to me is how close in price they are and how much better regarded the Revel is to the Axiom. I always thought that within a certain price point range all things audio (receivers, amps...

I am now ready to move into separates for music listening and have the opportunity to purchase one of 3 Carver amps: M 1.5, PM 1.5, or M 1.5t. Has anyone here used any of these amps or know anything about them regarding sound quality (in comparison to other of same price point) or buit quality...

Anyone? Where are you Axiom and Revel owners?? Your opinion is appreciated.

I am very interested in upgrading my fron speakers and for the price I am leaning toward these 2 speakers. Since I don't have a way of auditioning either of them I am going mainly on what I have read. I am fully aware that speakers are highly personal and the listener's ears are the final judge...

Thank you everyone for your reply. As a follow up can someone let me know then if a CD or movie DVD has either the DD logo or the DTS logo does that mean that the CD has some sort of coding which would make the sound come out differently if the receiver is set to that format? If this is the case...

Excellent forum everyone. This is my first post. I recently purchaded a Denon 3806 as part of a HT set up and am very happy with the unit. As I am reading the manual and playing with the settings to learn how the unit works I noticed that when I play music if I select DTS neo 6 I get a certain...
