Thoughts on my 805 situation

[L.J.]

You're five weeks into this audition now right? How much time do you have left on the return? You could hold out with it then see what else is available.

If you had the volume set high, and forgot to pause the PS3, what are the chances that the thud could damage the sub? I don't know how many times I've forgotten to turn it down before switching input sources and I always fear that I've damaged a speaker.

But I agree with Kex... if you're not 100% happy with it, keep shopping. Besides, you're loaded!

I have about 10 days left. Yes I have forgot to turn the volume down a couple of times and have had a pretty loud sound come from the speakers. Kinda scary but I've been careful since then. I plan on exchanging this unit for a third to buy myself a little more time. Perhaps I'll end up with one that has no popping going on.

My problem is amount you pay for no real improvements in sound quality. Take the 805/875. They both share the same manual and are pretty much the same unit, except the 875 has better video processing. Not worth the $500-$600 difference in price if you ask me.
