Jim,
I'm not Alan, but I wouldn't buy NAD over Denon.. NAD is overpriced, if you ask me. There's also the Outlaw 1050 out there, it's a 6.1, i'm sure you've heard of it.
If you have been reading about me thinking my Denon didn't sound too good at loud volumes, well.. I set all my speakers back to small, and fiddled with placement, as well as sub placement, and it sounds much better. I'm also using a pair of your cables aged for 13 months in an oak filled barrel with ginseng root and a goat tripe. They're absolutely EXQUISITE if you add a pinch of salt and a squirt of lemon from the south east of India.
