Sirquack - Not to grill you about this, but I'm also curious about your choice of the Denon. When looking at Denon's site, one would think that the equivalent receiver pricewise would be the 2105 or even the 1905. Was it the extra wattage and additional inputs that drew you up to the 2805?...or did you get some insight from somewhere about the differences in quality/sound between the different Denon models. As you can tell, I am also in the market for a new receiver and have been looking at the 1014TX.
