The mid-range models with current feature sets and with pre-outs is exactly the segment you want. Denon is very good at keeping these mid-range models consistently up to date. I am not talking about becoming an authorized dealer for their entire product line (thats just silly) but rather an authorized dealer to be able sell 2-3 different models. They have much better brand recognition than SN as well. Its just an alternative perspective.
