My first post to the site and what a great site it is!
Anyway, I have a few questions to the Denon 3801 and 3802 owners. What volume do you listen to movies or music(and I am not talking in db) I am talking volume on your receiver (i.e -20, -15, or even -10)? Also, did you raise the volume for each speaker up a little (i.e. FL +5, FR +5, and etc)?
My room configuration is 26 L x 12w x 8h.
My system consists of:
Speakers =(Polk Audio) Fronts=RT800, Center=CS400, Rear=RT55i, Rear center=RT35, and subwoofer=Velodyne CT120.
Components, TV=36" RCA (calibrated with VE), DVD player=Pioneer 525, CD player=Kenwood (Ok one), Receiver=Denon 3801, and Amp=Harmon Kardan 2.1 (5 channel-100 Watt high current)
Audioquest=interconnects (sindwinder-green ones)and speaker wire (type 2 for fronts and flat 14 gauge to hide under carpet).
I have my front main speakers bi-amped and bi-wired my center speaker.
I have everything set to 'Large' because my amp is running my front three speakers and receiver running rears (rear center is set to small-default).
Oh, I also have PS2 hooked to my system. (It rocks!)
In my opinion this is a pretty good setup and I am very happy with what I have. My next move is to get a bigger TV and possibly a DAC. Overall, this system shakes the whole house (1700 sq feet) (U571, Starwars I-pod scence, and many ohters) and I enjoy watching movies at home better than the theater.
You opinions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff Rice
