If I am only running 5 then all I would need is DLPII, right
precisely.. dont get caught up in the trap of buying a receiver with features that you will never use..
with that said, if you EVER plan on upgrading to a 7.1 in the future(2 years, 5 years, 10 years), then you might want to consider the DLPIIx. if not, then i wouldnt even worry about it.
my receiver doesnt have the DLPIIx(i have the onkyo 701), and to be honest, i dont miss it. i have no plans at this time to go any bigger than my 5.1, and if i did, then i could still set up the receiver for a phantom 6.1 or simulated 7.1.
also, when getting a receiver, dont buy into the whole THX.. it is highly over-rated. thats just my opinion.
