Hi Lee,
I stupidly hooked up speakers hot and incorrectly yesterday and probably blew some output transistors on a Denon 4308.
This is anticipation of replacing my old TV with a Samsung Smart TV, the F8500 which is on order.
Anyway, instead of repairing the Denon, I'm thinking of reverting to an old setup with a Marantz 4100 and powered center channel speaker and sub. I used this before in conjunction with a Gefen hdmi to hdmi plus audio converter.
I'm really trying to simplify the setup so that Samsung handles all of the HDMI devices and outputs to the Marantz using a tape loop. I'll use the other tape loop for my Sansui QSD-2.
Got any interest in doing this for me? Any interest in taking the Denon in trade for (some of) the labor?
