just got a new denon 3803 what db level is a good starting point for the speakers i have the r-3II speaker system with the ksw12 sub. the 3803 is one fine piece of equipment. it blows away the pioneer vsx-26tx elite.my pioneer started to act very strange so i went the denon.the pioneer was only 3.5 years old.changing inputs was an adventure sometimes it would work sometimes not.
