The Denon 4806 isn't even listed on their site yet, and it is reported to have a list price of $3,500. That's a significant difference in price from the $1100 we're talking about for a 990. Chop the amps out of the 4806 (something that we haven't seen done by Denon in a very long while), and you're likely to still be well north of $2000 when (or if) it arrives. That could still make for a pretty interesting package, and if room EQ is a feature that appeals to you it could be worthwhile for you to wait a bit and see what comes of it. For others (myself included), lack of room EQ isn't enough to rule the 990 out - especially in light of the other things it does offer and the potential (based on numerous review of the P-965) for it to turn in good sound.

I don't think anyone here will object to you typing out Denon's entire name. (Why did I have an odd flashback to reading Harry Potter books just now? "The manufacturer who must not be named..." )
