The 3808ci is an amazing receiver. I have had mine for about 2.5 years (bought it for less than $900 from 6Ave. The 3310 was a downgrade for the 33XX series as it was really more equivalent to the 2308. Not to say that it isn't a great receiver too, but the 3808 is great!

I've seen/heard it at a local dealer. Saving for one. I agree, it's an amazing unit!

Im annoyed. One of my speakers is causing my receiver to trip. Not as much volume is coming out of it (its the right rear speaker), and the problem follows the speaker when i connect it to another speaker's connection at the receiver.

Tomorrow im going to take one of my other speakers and swap it into bad speaker's spot to determine if it's wiring or the speaker.

Bleh.

I came across the problem trying to do the Audessy auto program, and then can do it by sending a tone to that speaker in the setup and then increasing the volume. Shuts my receiver off. Everything works fine otherwise.

That Bites...

If the receiver shuts off it is probably a short in the wire to the frame of the receiver. My cat pulled out a wire not to long ago and that is what happened.

It sounds like a short to me too, but it could also a blown crossover (or worse) a blown driver in the speaker and the voice coil is shorted-out. Had that happen once many years ago...

You must have turned the knob on the receiver up to 11... You know that is just too much power.

Was my fault. Sloppy work connecting the prewired slots in the ceiling to a wall plate behind the stereo, it's not really screwed in because the screws didnt fit right and I hadn't fixed it... so it's just kinda in the slot, and the posts for the right surround speaker were touching the metal or something at the bottom of the bracket.

...if any of that made sense.
