I believe the Denon website has a statement that they put out back at the beginning of the year stating that the updates for the AVP will begin in October 2011.

I would also look into the Classe SSP-800 as someone above mentioned, but for myself in the future I plan on going with something along the lines of the Marantz AV7005. For me Pre/Pro's change so quickly anymore that I have decided to invest in a nice two channel pre-amp (McIntosh C50) that has theater bypass, and will go with a mid line pre/pro. This way if I want to upgrade each year or two the investment isn't as large. I also feel without even hearing it as of yet that the Marantz AV7005 probably is as good if not better than the current version of the AVP for 6k less.
Do you know if this is a retrofit, refresh to the current unit, or is Denon releasing a new model in 2012? Maybe our Oracle (The Master) can weigh in.
