Indeed, especially as I have exactly the same model. Anyone who knows Nigel or myself will appreciate the irony.

All to come – the 770 was at the Alexis Park and will be part of our coverage from that venue. We’ll also have more info on the Denon (back panel shot is part of E. Brad Meyer’s report) and Yamaha, plus the new monster from Pioneer. Given the scale of our coverage so far, you’ll probably be surprised to learn that we’ve only uploaded about 25% of our material; the remainder will be added on a daily basis during the weeks to come. There are only so many hours in the day and I think the guys have done really well.

They have definitely wet my appetite of things to come. Appreciate the response and the great job your staff has done covering it. Thankyou

Hey Patrick - was the 950 available for listening at the show? If so did you have the chance to hear it? And if so, what are your (hopefully detailed) impressions?

Thanks,
Larry

HT Crazed,
I did listen to the 950 driving the new 770. Interestingly they were using 6 Atlantic Technology towers and a horizontal center channel. They were also using a large subwoofer(unknown). A portion of Juassic Park 3 was demoed repeatedly. I also asked to have the DTS version of the Eagles' "Hell Freezes Over" video played(Hotel California).
I don't want to detail my impressions because there was too much going on there. I will say that you definately felt like you were there in J.P. The base was the equal of my Sunfire sub and it goes down to 18 hz. I'm very familiar with the Hotel Cal. video and this sounded the best.
It was mentioned that the 950 was being assembled in the same factory in Malaysia as the ATI pieces but that they were different units. I don't know.

now this is interesting. Gonk has mentioned it already but i looked at the images of the 950 and the P2000 again. EVERYTHING looks the same inside (well, except for the stickers). same boards' ids, ICs, transistors, capacitors... interior layouts, you name it. and they are two different units??? im going insane

Guys,

For those of you who were asking about it, the Denon AVR-5803 is now included within our CES show report:

http://www.smr-home-theatre.org/ces2002/home_theater/page_03.shtml

There's also news of the upgrade for the AVR-5800, which looks like it's fairly involved but not as expensive as one would expect given the hardware change required.

Thanks for all your feedback!

The End of January? Man I hope so, I'm going nuts with anticipation.
