Go for the Denon 3802 or 4802 it has better quality, power and 7.1

Thanks for the reply.
Do you happen to know if it has 2 sub outs? From what I have been reading, and listening to the Denon is a front runner in my choices, and I have seen the 5803, and 4802 used at a decent price.
I have heard some negatives about the Atkis remote. Is the hype true?
Thanks for the opinions
heh-heh. I know it's spelt different. Couldn't resist with the current fad of low carb this, low carb that, low carb internet connections!
Ever hear of "Y" connectors?
I am running 3 powered subs in the front mains and center each with an LFE input. I have two outs right now, and the extra bass from the LFE in the center channel really adds to the effects. So yes, I have heard of Y connectors. Get some sleep!
If you only knew what you were saying here, you would realize how stupid it sounds.
I guess I don't understand. I only wrote in this asylum to get some advice.
What am I missing? I guess I thought that by having multiple outs the receiver would be doing the splitting more evenly than one or more Y connectors post signal processing would do. Sorry about the earlier comment. I would really appreciate some knowledgeable input.
and the point one means only one discrete feed to a sub-woofer. Splitting the low frequency output of 5.1 is something you have to do with you set-up if you prefer and wish to maintain the LFE routing the way it currently stands. For those who wish to run more than one sub-woofer, some subs are available (Martin Logan for example) with line in and out connections. your case requires a little bit of improvisation. It seems as though splitting the LFE o/p is the only easy way.
Thanks for the input. I am still on a learning curve, and I appreciate any knowledge that will make me a more informed buyer, and listener. I would especially like to avoid having misconceptions about what might be needed or what is available to improve my system. I love listening to music, and am trying to learn how to enjoy it more.
My apologies to Markw* for my earlier comment.
Thanks,
Mike
Apology accepted. Berivity of words, even when conveying the answer to the question, is sometimes misconstrued as snippiness. Wrong assumption...
