Right, that is nice, but it still does not feel quite right to me to have the internal amps in the first place. I have my eye on the new Marantz AV7005 pre/pro that is due out soon (not to be confused with the Marantz SR7005 receiver). Marantz and Denon are sister companies so there will probably be a lot in common with the 4311.
