Kevin:

Considering that your starting point is a receiver that retails for well over $4K, I would think you're in the wrong ballpark pricewise in exploring separates, even with the Rotel.

Just a thought ....

I completely agree. What exactly are you looking for that the Denon doesn't already gove you? That would be the place to start in your quest. Is money just burning a hole in your pocket that fast?

Not sure why you are looking for seperates. The bottom line is always the most realistic and satisfying sound reproduction possible for "your" taste, (and pocketbook). What is the Denon lacking that has you searching for seperates? I am sorry you did not find it at Outlaw, sound stage is not an issue with my 950, but room acoustics are different. I am glad you gave Outlaw a try, I have a lot of respect for you because of this vs those you do not like the product without ever trying it in their own environment. Keep us posted on your quest.
