Everybody sells the Denon AVR-3802 for $999. That was a Denon price reduction.

Kenny. First, in order to give you a good answer, lets figure out what you are really looking for.

DTS-ES, (Discrete and matrix)
THX Surround EX
and Dolby Digital matrix 6.1 are the major movie flavors.

There are 2 different THX certifications. Ultra (more stringent) and Select (less stringent).

There are a couple machines in the $1000 price range that are THX Select certified. THX Ultra certified machines are quite a bit more.

Anyway, check out the $899 Yamaha RX-V1200. It has all the DTS Flavors, DD Matrix 6.1, DPL2 and two sets of component in/ 1 out. Im getting this maching this week. It is replacing a Sony DA30ES that just wouldnt stop blowing up.

Also, check out the Denon AVR-3802 and 2802. The 3802 is $999 and has seven channels of amplification at 110 watts each.
