Jeff Mackwood,

Thanks for that thoughtful post. Your final point about a $1700 950/7100 combo vs. a $1700 Denon is interesting... first of all it is hypothetical, because there is no Denon in that price point.

(side note: anyone know of a great receiver in the $1500~$1700 street price range to which we could better compare/match it against the 950/7100?)

The Denon that comes closest in features to the 950/7100 combo is the 3803, which is available for MUCH less than the 950/7100 combo.

edit: BTW, could you post a link to the reviews by gonk that you said were "required reading?" Thanks...
