    New Denon Receivers in Aug/Sept

    Apparently the new Denon receivers will be coming out just around the time they will be releasing the DTS-ES and DPL2 update for the 5800.

    The new receivers will have DPL2.

    There is talk of a 3301 or 3302 with DPL2, etc. And over on HTF, some said that the dealer price on the 3801 has dropped a fair bit.

    So, I'm wondering whether we're going to see a 3302 (5 ch) and a 3802 (7 ch) in their lineup.

    If a 3302 comes out that has the Warm Sound of the 3300 I have now, I'm on it!!! Or if they base the 3802 on the 3300, with the "no heat" problems, and the Warm Sound, I would go for that.

    Obviously, a 4802 and maybe all the way down to the 2802 and the 1602 with DPL2, but I don't know how far down the line Denon will add DPL2.

    And apparently, no new flagship at that time, just the upgrade to the 5800.

    Anyway, if anyone gets any updates/clarification/specs/verifications on these products, let us know, eh?!!!

    I'm pretty happy with the 3801 for my home cinema but new stuff always intrigues me so I'll be watching with interest.

      Interesting news Gregg. I'm most likely going to go the Outlaw route myself but you never know

        Andrew: I would only upgrade because I think I could get a reasonable upgrade price at Advance. Then I'd have all the bells and whistles and the warm sound I like. (Crossing fingers.)

        After that, my next upgrade will be along the same lines as you - separate amp(s), with the Denon a a pre. Maybe start with a 3 CH for the fronts.

        Then I'll investigate the separates. By then, the Outlaws will have a track record (and I'll have some money! lol)

        Somewhere in there I've got to get a CD megachanger, though! Probably strike a deal to get the changer along with the Denon upgrade.

        We shall see.

        Anyway, I sure do like my new Panny TV.

        Where is the best place to get AVIA i.e. best price?

        And, since there are no more analog SPL's at RS, does everyone agree/disagree as to whether the Digital is a decent buy?

          Greg the cheapest place for Avia is still from the US I'm afraid its just to pricey at AB sound. The best option is to either trade for it or have someone in the US ship it to you so you avoid duty and taxs etc. As for the SPL meter the analog is easier to use but both will work just as well. Like most things at RS if its not on sale today wait till tomorrow

            by GregoriusM
            Rumours of these receivers with DPL2.

            Also rumours that the 5800 will not be upgraded in September, but will wait until next year for a complete board upgrade.

            Anyone else heard these rumours or have any press releases or more concrete information?

            Receivers with adjustable Crossovers?
            by P-Dub
            So what receivers have adjustable crossovers?

            From memory:

            The Sony ES models, from 40 to 200 in 10Hz increments.

            The Sony DB series with the 840 and 940 going from 60, 90, 120, 150, 180. The newer Sony DB870 and DB1070 go from 60 to 180 in 10Hz increments....

            DPL2 on 7 speakers?
            by Razvan
            I've read that the Onkyo 989 can play DPL2 over 7 speakers i.e "if you use Pro Logic II, the rears are run in parallel with the sides so the 2 surround channels are played over 4 speakers." Anyone knows how to do this on the RDC-7? With DPL2 I get no sound from the rear speakers, just from...

            Denon 3801
            by GregoriusM
            I owned this unit for about 5 days. I sent it back because it didn't have the warm sound that the 3300 has. So, despite the possible heat problem, I kept the 3300. (Had to send the first one back. Talk about frying eggs!!!)

            Anyway, my question is this:

            There is a debate...
