I own a 563a and think it is a great bargain.

That said, unless you have a receiver or pre/pro that can perform bass management in the 5.1 inputs, I think I would get the Denon 2200 instead.

The crossover points on the 563a are very high....I think 100mhz for DVD-A and 120mhz for SACD. The reasoning, as I understand it, is that the unit was meant for the HTIB crowd.
