Thanks. I am leaning towards the Denon. I think k it would be the more practical choice, then invest in the subs and speakers
Indeed. You get your 4K UHD and HDMI needs. You have pre-outs if you ever feel you need more power. It supports the Audyssey app if you decide to play with that.
For the cost, I think this is a smart choice!
If you decide to upgrade in 2-3 years for more channels or more power, you aren't out a large investment. Take good care you should be able to ride this for 3-7 if you choose.

And yes... extra $$$ for the subs!
