If the 1070 comes out by the middle to end of May that would be the ticket.
Curegeorg- you seem to feel strongly about the denon receivers from what I have read in some of your previous posts. In one you mentioned that the Denon's DAC's are better than the Pioneer Elite's. Do you know what DAC's are used in each? I have a Denon DVD-2900 that I have been pleased with. It has Burr Browns. I had a noticable improvement in sound when I upgraded to this unit and picture too, of course.
