I am planning to purchase the Yamaha DSA-A1 or the Denon 5800 AV Receiver for my HT. Will these AV Receivers sound better than my current Rotel combo of RB-985THX Amplifier & RSP-966 Processor? I plan to change my set-up since I would like to add the following features to my set-up which the RSP-966 do not have: Tuner section, Crossover Filters for Subwoofers, Better DSP Hi-Fi Processing, & simpler set-up & connections, more features & upgradeability. Is my plan adviseable or should i just stick to my current set-up? thanks for any advise.

Since your more interested in HT, I would sell your Rotel RSP. Then purchase a used Lexicon DC-1. Keep the amp. You will then have one awesome HT system. Is it simpler? Not really because this processor does so much to maximize the sound for a theater environemt. Does it look simple? Yes. You talk about better crossover filters for the sub, you've got it. Better DSP, definitely. More features and upgradeablity.....Oh yea. I have the Lexicon MC-1 which is very similar to the DC-1 (I did have the DC-1 before trading up). I use Rotel amps on 7 speakers (3 front, 2 sides, 2 back) using their Logic 7 (incredible sound effect....one of the best). A used DC-1 is going to cost around ($1K). Readup and research the processor. Here's a site for Lexicon users to read about:

I couldn't agree more. I had a Yamaha -3090 integrated years ago, and replaced it with a DC-1 after considering the Denon 5700(?)and whatever the Marantz model at the time was. The DC-1 at today's prices is a tremendous bargain. Its only shortcomings are lack of digital inputs (4) & slightly substandard (by today's standards) video switching.I also use Rotel amps in my HT system, and they are a terrific bargain, too. Believe me, the 985 amp will IMHO easily beat any receiver you want to try it against...
