Hey Doug, after moving my music system into a dedicated room I had to purchase a recvr for the living room. I got a good deal on a Denon DRA-565RD. Well of course I had to check it out in my room first. It sounded just fine, hard to tell the difference. Now my system isn't nearly as refined as yours but still I was impressed with its sound.
Caution though, as I tried this experiment years ago with a nice Sony ES series video recvr. It sounded great at first but slowly my time spent listening to music diminished to nill. This took time but I seemed to lose interest. As no one in my house wuld bother to use the video features I scrapped the recvr idea and went back to audio separates. Got back into music immediately.
