Help on Receiver upgrade

[PBAtlanta]

<font color='#000000'>I have been enjoying my home entertainment system for the past 4 years, but now have the itch to upgrade my Denon 3300 receiver (it will go to the workout room in the basement). &nbsp;My current short list of replacement receivers includes: Denon 4802r, Onkyo 989v2, Marantz 9300, and Integra 9.1.

I use my system for 75%/25% music/movies, and listen to mostly jazz with some classical and rock thrown in. &nbsp;I have grown to enjoy the 5 channel stereo mode of the 3300, and understand that the Neo6 and DPLII on newer receivers create an even truer &quot;on stage&quot; effect. &nbsp;I would say that the clarity of music reproduction is my top criteria.

Given my listening preferences which of the receivers above would be the best choice? &nbsp;Are there others I should be considering? &nbsp;Are any new models/features coming out soon enough that I should wait (any that include DPLIIx, and is it worth the extra $ and delay)?

Thanks in advance for responses.</font>
