Which high-end receiver?

Good news, bad news. We're moving into a much bigger house, but the built in area around the entertainment center is so small that it will not hold my power conditioner, amp, processor, DVD player and cablebox.

The wife is insisting that I downsize into equipment that will fit, which will mean getting rid of the processor and amp (at least).

I'm thinking that I'm going to be disappointed with a receiver, but I'm willing to consider the higher end units. Any useful pointers/comparisons between the Denon 5805, the Lexicon RV-8, the Sunfire Ultimate, etc.?

Any thoughts would be appreciated. I'm into an Equitech conditioner, ATI (7x200) amp and Arcam processor right now.

Thanks

The B&K absolutly stomps the competition.
Hands down.
No questions asked. (for it's price)
Just as good as the Lexicon {If not better in some oponions}
Way better than the Denon (audio & SQ) ((the denon is a good video switcher.... but a 97 lb. video switcher ?!)
I cant speak bad on the Sunfire / Arcam ... but the B&K betters it on price. and performance IMHO.

Also B&K offers killer IR control via their preset system , and they give you an MX- 700 with it. also IR in , and IR out. 99 code sets. etc. etc. (Discretes for everything). need I go on?
