I have the Denon 2805, which is the same as the Denon 985, just sold from different channels. There is also a 2105. It really depends on if your buying refurbished or not. I think for that price range you will be able to find something nice. I would stay with Onkyo, Denon, HK, but Pioneer Elite and Yamaha's aren't bad either.
