Hey folks, just another old home theater buff looking for some advice on new gear. I got a new Vizio HDTV for Christmas, and as a bonus got all of my folks old HT gear. My question centers around the receiver, ye olde Denon AVR-5600. This was originally purchased around 1998 for use with AC-3 Laserdisc, and still performs well with DD DVD. However, as you probably know, there's no DTS 5.1, and no way to take advantage of Dolby TrueHD or DTS HD-MA. Now I'd like to keep the same level of power that I have with the Denon (140w per channel) and THX certification, but not a new Denon's price tag (ouch!). I've been looking at the Onkyo TX-NR3008 as a replacement.. any reason not to get this? Should I look at the TX-NR1008 or TX-NR5008 instead?
