Who knows where it will go?? Tomlinson Holman (the "TH" in "THX") thinks it will 10.2. It is an incredible demo...read about it at [Link: audiorevolution.com]

BTW, I am a firm believer in separates, being an avid Meridian and Lexicon fan. At the lower end, Rotel, Marantz, B&K, etc. still offer greater flexibility and, yes, if set up properly, better sound.

I am NOT a big fan of Rotel because of the way they run their business, but I find it hard to believe that it was a fair comparision (things not set up correctly) if it lost to a Denon. Now don't get up in arms, Denon, Marantz and Onkyo have seemed to risen to the top in receiver sound quality so I am not singling Denon out as a "bad" unit; I just prefer separates! Sorry Mike!
