Hi Blue, merry x-mass! Man, this deal was too hard to pass up and I ordered the 6190 last night. Future shop did lower the price on the Denon 989 to $999.99 but that was at the upper limit of my budget. So, finally I'll get around to watching the rest of my BR collection

. As for music, 90% of the time, I listened in direct mode with/without the sub. Having saved about $300 with this receiver, in all likelihood I'll put the money saved towards the 10's.
Ps: Did you bite on the deal for the 50's?
Regards, Bill
