Does anyone one have a denon audio video receiver. What is your experience with this model for a home theater system. I cant afford to spend a whole lot of money and found this receiver paired with the Boton Accoustics MCS-90 speakers. The package is DHT-589BA Sears has it for $449, i bought it at Circuit city for $434 + tax with the price match.

The Audyssey based systems like on the Denon 1909 lose their Audyssey Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume features if you tweak the EQ to your personal taste. You can't even use bass/treble controls in unison with Audyssey Dynamic EQ. You don't have those limitations with Pioneer MCACC, and it allows you 5 separate custom EQ presets while Denon only allows 1 custom EQ preset, and again, losing your Audyssey features if you use it.
