So I bought a house, and need another...

...bit of gear. 
I am a believer in Accessories4less, so I went shopping for a new (to me) AVR for a second system. I grabbed their last Denon AVR-X3400H. It has full 7.2 analog outputs, although I only plan on running 2 channel in my new (to me) living room. 

I bought an Emo from BK last fall, that will serve as the amp, speaks will be the Taiga. I will be building something else for my new (to me) high end basement system.

My vintage Philips lcd, a Roku, Sony BD player, and htpc will round it out. 

Yes, I'm awake at 5:00AM, got a lot of shit on my mind.

    Go to bed! Ha! Some day I hope to find me a nice Emo amp. Nice problem to have....needing more systems....😉

    Nice choice of AVR. I have the 3500H that I use in my main system (for pre-outs to power amps for the mains and sub). I like it a lot, though I've never used it's fancy Audyssey or anything.

    Pretty sure I remember you mentioning you liked that one. This is of course the previous years model, but is still pretty modern on most features. Not too big of a deal, as I plan never to go past two channel 1080P in any event.

    Love Accessories4Less also!  Got a Marantz AVR that serves me well. Thinking about putting together a dedicated old-school stereo setup for critical listening. Emo amp is a dream, although the new Purifi stuff looks great.
    But Chahly - Stahkist don't want speakers that look good, Stahkist wants speakers that sound good!

    Yeah, I've been a fan for awhile. Never owned Denon before, so I'm curious. 

    Final walkthrough today, closing tomorrow.

    From what Mike/Chuck have told me, it seems Emo front-end gear can give up the ghost early, for no apparent reason. Rory's Stealth is doing fine, and it's a Gen1. The amps appear to be rather robust in the long-term.

    I feel your pain. We are moving to TX and had to get rid of most of our stuff. 
    So I'll need avr, speakers, TV and all the furniture. 
    Fun times. 
  • dcibeldcibel
    Ouch!

    We should have got rid of a lot more than we did when we moved 1.5yrs ago. Among other things that we just didn't need to begin with, we brought a nice big couch 1000kms but it really doesn't fit our new space properly, the chaise lounge is on the wrong side.

    You never realize how much crap you collect over the years till ya move. I filled a 10yard dumpster and still had 2 moving truck loads of stuff from my garage. Granted it was a 2.5 car plus a 2nd level, 2 car size. All those little scraps and pieces and parts really add up.
    Total bummer for your truck! Happen moving something past it? 😢

    Shawn and I have called them impalers for just such a reason. It's surprising he has not yet met his untimely demise due to said incidents. ;)

    So I fell down a few stairs today, resulting in a detached patellar tendon. I'm down for the foreseeable future, dammit. Lot of pain. Cool bling, though.

    As I follow this thread, I am seeing a hand injury, a pretty severe leg injury, and an otherwise comfy looking chair in a really suboptimal listening position relative to the Taigas.  It almost seems like Mr. Pomposelli (AKA BK) and I need to come over there and get things straightened out.  At least the bar appears to be stocked, or at least was at some point.

    Keep an open mind, but don't let your brain fall out.
