Denon makes a lot of nicer mid-to-high range AVRs, and you could probably get an older model still capable of the codecs for under $1,000

My seperates are pretty solid - but I wouldn't call them High-end. I'm getting all of my amps with the exception of my sub amp (I will leave the Sony TA-N80ES on those - that amp's a beast) over to Yamaha's. I've just negotiated a deal on a Yamaha M-80 for $235.00 to round out my amps. As I've said before I've always been a vintage man - keep the stuff running well and it will serve you for years.

P.S. you can afford seperates - even new ones - PM me and tell me how much would you spend (you have half of it already with the Marantz Receiver )!
