Hello all,
I live in Switzerland and the 3802 is not quite in stores yet. I can get a 3801 on closeout for $719 or wait a little while for a 3802 at $1200.
Since the ONLY difference as far as I know is Pro-Logic II I'd like opinions on how valuable people think this really is. I'd be listening maybe 20-30% to music and the rest HT. I'd also plan on going SACD eventually, and to be honest I am a little skeptical about the whole idea of converting 2 channel material to multichannel. I know the 3801 also has a multichannel conversion mode (forget the name) - how does it compare with Pro-Logic implementation for converting 2 channel to 6?
Other question is whether anyone has matched the 3801 (or 3802) with the Paradigm Atom/ADP/CC170 combination (with the PDR-12 sub)? From what I've read these are great speakers, but wondering on the match with Denon's warm sound.
Thanks for any and all opinions and please pitch in if you can. There's not many 3801's available (two, in fact).
Thanks all,
Dave
