Reddish,

The Denon 3802 is a great buy, but if music is a priority as well as movies, DON'T buy the Denon until you've had the chance to audition other receivers. Onkyo, Outlaw, and Yamaha make receivers that will all outperform the Denon on music. The receivers by Arcam will blow the Denon out of the water on music, but you sacrifice 6.1 and component video switching.
