Which Denon Receiver for my home theater?


I am building out a home theater. I currently have a Denon-540 in my living room, and I really like it. I am wondering how much improvement in sound and cinematic experience if I stepped up to a S650H-R, S750H-R, S960H-R, or X1600H-R. I would likely be using the maxinum number of speakers with each of these receivers. The price spans from $230 for the 540 to $500 for the 1600.

Also, side question, what is the difference in the "H" models and the "H-R" models?

Not sure what you think of the The Master Switch reviews but this looks like a pretty good rundown.

They think the AVR-S960H is just about the best value for the money.

I liked it myself so much I was thinking of getting it to replace my aging Yamaha V-757..

Not sure If you'll notice any difference in sound though.Also has HEOS, which could be a good or bad thing, and a bit clunky to use sometime.

Hope this helps a bit.
