I recently installed the 3803 and after listening to Paradigm Studios, Def Tech, Vandersteen, Boston, M&K, Energy, and B&W I chose the B&W CDM NT line. I'm using 7NT's for the front with the CNT and 1NT's to round it out. Give them a listen and make sure they are well broken in as their sound changes dramatically after burn in. Honestly I was worried at first when I unpacked them and wondered if I missed the boat on the speakers or the receiver. However, after 2 months they are really starting to open up and remind me why I chose them. BTW, I'd also audition Revel if you can find them as I've read nothing but glowing reviews. Have fun!
Chose Denon 3803..now for speakers
After listening to many receivers I ended up liking the Denon 3803 the best and am now looking for speakers. I am mostly an HT person but would really like to listen to more music with some that sounds enjoyable. I listened to the Sonus Concertino and Vienna Haydn at tweeter and really liked the sound of the Concertino on the 5803. Am I goign to get that same sound on the 3803... any other suggestions would be appreciated because I also like the Vandersteen 2ce, Paradigm 60, Klipsch RF7.....
