AragonStageOne? Other processors? Bass Management?

I am new to home theater and I am looking into purchasing a surround sound processor for ~$3 to $4K. Other than information on the website, there is not a lot of information (reviews) on the Aragon Stage One. Any thoughts on this processor? or on other surround processors I should consider?

Also, how important is bass management in a surround sound processor?

Thanks,
FGM
