Denon's apparently unveiled some pretty serious looking gear at the CES. First off, the AVR 3805 adds the parametric room calibration feature that's apparently well on its way to becoming a standard feature top to bottom. That instantly makes it competitive with Yamaha's YPAO receivers. Also, they made some significant cosmetic changes (no more gold finish available). I would guess that they'll hit the stores in a few months. So, if you're looking at the 3803, this is your bargaining leverage!

Denon's also upping the ante in the higher end with a new line of home theatre separates. You have separate universal disc transport, audio/video preamp, and multichannel amp components (pics below)
