How did you get that quote? It makes him seem like he's a member here... ![]() The reference I was talking about was actually early in the article where he makes some kind of mention regarding "the receiver won't facilitate that extreme..." |

You can put the QUOTE tags around any bit of text to make it appear in the "quote" box. You don't have to only use the Quote button at the bottom of the post.

Amongst all the things I was looking for when upgrading from an older Denon to the new AVR-4810ci, the need for another Pro-Logic format boggled my mind. With a room not very large and having been very satisfied with the AVR-3808ci, I was not entirely sold on the need for PLIIz. Two things changed my mind; I got a ridiculous deal from Electronics Expo with a coupon ( WS901x3807 for the receiver, WS920x3807 for my Samsung LED TV) and the change in overall image size and depth. I forgot what my worry was about the moment I turned up my old Ahnold favorite "Eraser." I was transported to the largest Zoo image I had experienced with Alligators and water-thrashing creeping up my walls. (This was with the soon-to-be-replaced JBL L-100/L-80/Velodyne system I have used since my divorce). A little tweaking after the Audyssey did its work, and the result with older material re-awakened my desire to watch these gems (even a non-Blu-ray "Fifth Element" got a workout on Halloween night) over and over. I highly recommend this receiver and all its myriad functions: the rewards are plentiful!

It seems like more and more people are recommending the "height" algorithm in the new receivers; I want to upgrade my 605 for more sheer power, so I don't know what I am going to go with next...I want a good multichannel power amp/processor combo, but not sure which brand or model to go with yet. Another thing I always wondered about with regard to receivers and their "distance" settings in their menus (and I suppose this would get more complicated with the added height channels) was, does changing distances to the sweet spot affect overall volume from those given speakers? I recently recalibrated my speaker distances to be more accurate (noting they were a bit off from initial install), and the front channels went up about two feet -- would this necessarily mean the playback material would "seem" louder or a bit lower, based on changing that distance setting? It's an interesting discussion I've been having with others... |

Is this Onkyo's current flagship? I have to go on their site and check, as I've been out of the loop as of late on their lineup on anything that seems to go beyond the "600" series... Would this be as good a bet for power as going the separate amp/preamp route? EDIT: Is this the beast you're talking about? http://www.onkyousa.com/model.cfm?m=...s=Receiver&p=i If so, there are a couple of models above this...would this still deliver on power fronts? |
