Budget is $2500 or less.
The 5800 has served me well for almost 8 years now but it is starting to show its age. The latest problem is that when I play an HD DVD through my Toshiba A2 the receiver thinks the DD disc is DTS for some odd reason.
I would like to have the new HD audio support and 6.1 is a necessity. I also need the same or better amplification power that the 5800 provides. Mutli-zone is also a must.
Any opinions and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
*Note....I really don't want to spend 5k on seps.

Re: Time to upgrade the Denon 5800... what should I get?
Couldn't you buy a pre/pro and then use the amp section of your 5800 using the pre-ins?
Something like the Outlaw 990 might be a nice choice.

Chris,
I replaced my 5800 with the Denon 4308CI, but you might want to look at the 3808CI which basically does the same thing except a few extra features and flexibility. Then again, after reading your post once more, I would go with the 4308CI that you can probably pick up in your budget range. I believe Obi bought a 4308CI too.
