Well, I can honestly say that I for one can't wait for Outlaw to release a new pre/pro. When my amp crapped the bed a week and a half ago I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the Denon 3808 to serve as a temporary solution until my amp came back. After working with the Denon for over a week now, I can honestly say this is one fine peice of equipment. So for right now, I can't wait for my 7700 to come back to see how the 3808 serves as a pre/pro. I had all intentions of taking the 3808 back before the end of January but after seeing what this receiver can do, may be keeping it until Outlaw releases the newer pre/pro's and then the 3808 will be moved to the upstairs rig.
