So-so receiver for so-so price

"To all that's thinking of buying the 2808...please think about the 3808 or even 4308. Saving the few hundred was not worth all the missing features. Just looked too entry level but I guess the price reflects that. All in all, this is great for entry level home theater but if you want to wow your friends please pass on this one...."
