the 9000 is an older model, released at the end of 2002. other than weighing 40 pounds, it's not really top-of-the-line any more.

the Denon 5910, which costs about 50 % more ($1600 versus the $1100 ish for the one store I found still selling the 9000) is a top of the line as discussed in this thread

the 5900 includes the Teranex video processor, normally only available in the $ 30,000 plus type equipment.

either would seem to be overkill if bought today, as BlueRay or HD-DVD will probably make them basically obsolete by the end of the year...
