I was in the same situation just about two months ago. I was looking at the same two receivers you're looking at now. IMO, both receivers have plenty of power to drive any speaker setup for home theater. For the kind of money they go for, they HAD better be powerful enough.

I was going to go for the Denon because it's a newer model than the Onkyo and has some other features that the Onkyo doesn't. But I decided to go with the Onkyo because I had a deal I couldn't pass up (only $950 - tax included & full warranty). I figured that I could live without the features on the Denon that the Onkyo doesn't have and saved a couple hundred bucks.

Both are nice receivers. You wouldn't go wrong with either one.
