I'd bet that the 1070 will have superior sound quality, and that while the power LOOKS lower, the 1070 may well perform considerably better.

Features? It's a toss up the Denon has some things, particularly the autoEQ business that the 1070 doesn't. The 1070 has some things such as DVI and analog bass management the Denon doesn't. For my $$$ the 1070 wins, as I can to some extent set the levels and other configuration things manually with my RatShack meter and some test discs. No, it ain't a full EQ, but how good the Denon thing is is the subject of some debate.

Remember, too, that Denon must clearly have the advantage of volume to do things that an Outlaw or similar company simply can't.

At the end of the day, it's the SOUND that counts. My money is on the 1070.
