Not as tough as it was to leave the box alone!

Sad part is, I have seen the unit, and read the manual, but I kept wanting to open the boI hope to be home in a few weeks for good and will put it through it's paces then.

Talked to a denon dealer in my area who is also an anthem and krell dealer. Apparently, they really won't be setting the denon processor up in any of their demo rooms because they feel the anthem D2 and Krell S-1000 are sonically superior. What they are doing now is just using the analog outputs on the blu-ray and just plugging them directly on the processors (Krell and Anthem).

Personally, I think that's a lot of cables and if you are doing that, I'm not really sure about the point of buying an expensive processor.

It was really hard not to open it and at least peak at it, but I have seen it in person already and read the manual, so I figured I'll wait until I am home for good (likely a month) to tear into it.

Even knowing this, it was tough not to open the new toy!

Man, that is gut wrenching. You know when they say, that was a gut wrenching play, man, just to look at the box all sealed up and pretty, waiting for you to take the seal off the box. Well, you certainly have something to look forward to when you do get home.
