I bought a cheap used Denon AVR-3300 to use via the processor loop of a long line of integrated amps (Anthem Int.2, Arcam Alpha 9&10, Plinius 8200). I use it for digital processing, bass management and to power the center and rear surrounds. I'm not a "video guy" so it is good enough and smokes most mass market setups. Visitors to my "cave" are often in awe of the combination (hey, it's a small room).
BTW, I currently use "phantom mode" as I'm not fond of the sound from the affordable center channel speakers I've tried. It will have to do as the matching center for my Tyler monitors cost $2000. A lot of money for video in my book!
