Don't count out the Yamaha stuff. I have been using a DSP AX1 (graymarket) piece with good results. They (Yamaha) claim it to be 150 wpc. It has over 50 DSP modes of which several are actually usable. This includes DD and DTS 6.1ES. The sound (to my old ears) is as good as some of the separates I have run in the past.

It also has a funky extra pair of amplified channels for front effects. These are at 45 wpc. I have those wired in as well, but I can't really say they add much.

If you want the DPL2 and neo6 etc you'll have to look at the successor model..the DSP AZ1.

Having said all this, I still think if you want to buy a receiver, buy a 1050 and spend the savings on high compliance speakers. You absolutely will get more for your money that way. Unless your Home Theater is bigger than 300 square feet, you are talking about very minor differences in sound quality.
