The Denon 5700 is a great machine.
he new Denon 5700DTS receiver is awesome. It has 140 watts X 5
at
fullbandwidth. Burr Brown 96 KHz/ 24bit DAC's on all channels. 8
channel
inputs for future surround formats. 4 speaker level outputs for rear
channel. It
retails for $2800 and is worth its price. However, It can be had for
only
$1999 !!!!! Email me for details.

The Yamaha DSP A1 is still my favorite. It retails for $2600. It has 24 bit DAC's on all channels, DTS, DD and 6 channel inputs and 110 watts X 5 and 35 watts X 2 for front effects. If DSP modes are your thing than this amp is your answer. This can also be had for only $1999
