Hooo your going to love that 5508 I have the 5507 and am surprised how detailed the sound is I never considered Onkyo high end before I guess I was kind of a snob but finances have made me look at other companies and it suer has open my eyes/ears , people have said Onkyo doesn`t have as good a sound as some audiophile components but I beg to differ my system has never sounded sooooo good

One thing's for sure, I have little interest in spending three times as much on something that gets me 3% better quality in my listening. This baby sounds pretty dang good to me. That said, I'm also a believer that "audiophile" shouldn't just be reserved for the snobs in this hobby...we're all audiophiles or we wouldn't be here. I certainly don't think the most money spent = the best system, and it sounds like you agree. This 5508 is no slouch, that's for sure.

PJ that 5508 does look really nice. Are you using a Salamander rack? What are you using that UPA-2??? for?
I'm dreaming of the day I can upgrade my Denon 3808CI.......mostly to have something newer and to switch to a pre/pro. I need some more amps first. I'm still running my surrounds off of the AVR. I don't think I could get very much for my Denon...so sad.

Are you using a Salamander rack? What are you using that UPA-2??? for? Yes, it's a Salamander rack. Love it. The UPA-2 is for my back surrounds. Was running them previously off my 876's internal amps, but with the new pre/pro, I needed the two channels so I pillaged it from my two-channel rig that I barely use anyway. I'll eventually buy another one when there's a good used one on the Emporium or during one of the eventual sales. XPA-2 - Front L-R XPA-3 - Center and Surround L-R UPA-2 - Back Surround L-R

Nice - I have the Salamander Sonoma 339 I really like it. I still need to get some extenders to add a few more inches in the back. It's a little tight right now. If I added a XPA amp I wouldn't have enough depth with out the extenders. They just came out with pro racks as well. They look pretty nice.
You should get two UPA-1s for your 2 ch to replace the UPA-2 :-)

Well here's my latest additions to the HT rig. Denon 3311ci & a Cinenova Grande 5 amp (300watts x 5) Good thing the Studiotech doors have quick disconnect hinges. Those damn handles wouldnt let the doors close. But at 130lbs they're a must have to help move that fat pig around.
