I am beginning to build a new HT sytem. I have started with the centerpiece, a new 50" Samsung plasma. I am in the market to replace my old Onkyo which will find a new home in my home office. I have read practically every post on the 1070 and most of the 970. I am impressed with the high marks it receives from customers and professional reviewers alike. However, the no audio issues scare me. I am very impatient, and don't know if I can put up with the bugs. My question is, if I were to pass on the 1070 now and wait for the bugs to be worked out or simply wait for a new model in 2008, what would you suggest?

I have looked at the Denon 2807 quite a bit, and it appears to be a reliable piece of equipment, though it may not match the sound quality of the 1070 At a retail of around $1,100, I don't really want to exceed that in my budget. I know that's not a lot to work with, but give me your thoughts.

My listening will be roughly 50/50 music and movies, and I like my sound kind of neutral not too harsh on the ears for extended listening.
