Which would you want?

I have a Denon 2808 basically same as 2809 except new Audyessy volume and 2 more HDMI ports. Receiver before Denon was Pioneer.

Both will serve you well but if the price is the same I would get the Denon 2809 for Audyessy features.

The Pioneer Elite vsx-01txh or Denon 2809ci? price doesnt matter...if anyone has either of these receivers how do you like them, with your polk speakers. Im looking to get the a7s...input on ease of setting up and anything else you can give is very appreciated...Going to pull the trigger on one of these recievers this weekend...Thanks again for your help...

Are you going to use an external amp or the amp inside the AVR to push the
a7's?

i have a Denon 2809ci or sale if your interested, $865. Its a little over a month old. I love it, but found a deal on a 3808 i could not pass up But yeah go with the Denon...much nicer AVR. I've had the others and they are ok, but the 2809 IMO has better SQ. The Audyssey MultiEQ XT with 8 point calibration is also pretty clutch. The OSD is simple, but nice and easy to use. It has plenty of hookup and of course pre-outs and trigger outs for a future amp The remote it comes with is also pretty cool and easy to use.

I'm new here, but an avid member on the emotiva lounge and av123 forums. But yeah anyway let me know if your interested.

my bad i didnt see where i could not post that. I just saw i could not actually make a for sale thread in the flea market. Apologies.

I cant seem to edit that post to take that off, since i was unaware it was against the rules. Any ideas?

Welcome to Club Polk Bigred!

Hey mmadden28!!! whats up man! I really did read the rules when i joined i never saw that i could not do that...i seem to have stepped on some toes to by already having "too many posts" :rolleyes:..

let everyone know im actually legit mmadden28, F1nut seems to think im a troll or something in regards to the words we've shared...

But thanks for welcoming me! I've shadowed this thread for well over a year now, and even though i dont own polk gear i love the speakers and i always enjoy good audio chat so i figured i would join so i could have some conversation.

sorry for the thread hijack...carry on lol

Circumventing the rules by attempting to sell gear outside of the Flea Market is still tantamount to breaking them, and not good form for a new member. It may not have been intentional, but it's still worth pointing out mmadden, and should certainly not be encouraged.

oook understood. Easy mistake. already said my bad.

Exactly what I said to you,

"Posting a series of quick ones by a newbie, like yourself, is seriously frowned on. Slow down, enjoy the forum and let people get to know you."

Exactly what you responded with,

"chill out bro...its a forum..

Its not like i started a flame war.."



Hint: My comment was friendly advice, you just didn't want to take it that way.

Perhaps, and pointing them out is certainly warranted. But really--we all need to be a little more thoughtful in how things are phrased when saying it. Stating that it's a 'flagrant violation' is a pretty strong statement don't you think?

Bigred is probably one of the biggest contributers at the Emo forums, I doubt he's a fly-by-night stop by Club Polk to see what he can offload, when he could just as easily avoided the grief and sold to those that already know and trust him. He has one of the highest seller/buyer ratings over there. And before anybody says 'he should have known better', EmotivaLounge does not have this rule inplace there.

All I'm saying is a little Benefit of the Doubt should be given before assuming wether or not an offending poster had malicious intent or not.

I wasn't encouraging anything in what I said. Word for word its true. Essentially no selling in the FS Forum until you have 25 posts. It doesn't say anything about mentioning something you have for sale in other parts of the forum-Of course there is some interpretation that could be made there, but really?!?. Sales or 'deals' are mentioned all the time outside of the FS forums. I mean I could just have easily mentioned the same exact sale and even provided a link to his sale at Emotivalounge or CL or eBay, etc, and it would have been perfectly fine and innocent then.

It is my opinion that the rule is a poorly written one, and serves no 'real' protective purpose-other than provide policy for the admins to delete offending posts. I seriously doubt the forum forefathers intended it to be a catapult for established members to start attacking/condemning new members for breaking it (and no that was not all about just this thread and was not directed at you Kex). I say leave the enforcement to the admins while established members "POLITELY" and "UNACCUSINGLY" remind the new members of the rules. After all it's always Buyer Beware right?

Bigred, stick around. After a bit of hazing and what not-you'll fit right in

Peace all
:cool:

right and your comments made when i asked about a blu-ray movie were totally valid right:rolleyes:

Yep, completely valid.

Feel free to have the last word, I'm done.

Hmmm...no social skills could be it. Or maybe stubborn? Wait, I got it. He doesn't really care about what people think about him, because he only came here to sell something? That could be it. I don't see any other reason that would make someone coming into a new social environment, open the door and start calling names.

My take too. Since he is an experienced and respected member over at the emo forum, he should know better than to post his for sale stuff in someone else's thread. I doubt he was unaware of the rules and this was his way of getting around them.

There is nothing wrong with an experienced member here offering some off-line advice to the new members - no one can be expected to check around at other sites to figure out what some newby is all about.

Do you know the meaning of the word "humble"? Look it up; it will probably help you if you really want to spend some time here.
