So you'd be using the 3805 just as a pre-amp? Or were you going to ditch it entirely and get a pre/processor with the 755?

The 3805 has a decent sound. For most folks, it's a stunning performer at its price point. I auditioned one recently (along with Arcam and some Classe gear) and found it to be adequate. However, it doesn't provide the same dynamics I get from the 755. Denon claims 120wpc, but it felt a bit anemic to me on the low end. Outsourcing the amp duty to the 755 would be a definite upgrade in the sound.

Cheers,
