Receiver / Speaker Help  

I am upgrading my equipment to have a full home theater since up until now it has been two channel with a 32" TV. I am getting a Mitsubishi 65" HD TV and am hoping that you can help me narrow down the receiver and speakers.

I was originally looking at the Pioneer Elite VSX-37TX but now am trying to decide between the Denon AVR-4800 and Yamaha RXV-3000. The Denon had THX which the Yamaha does not though I am not sure that I will need it.
I currently have two Boston Acoustics VR950's and was thinking of using them as the rears and adding a pair of BA VR965's with their powered subwoofers in each and a center channel. There are thoughts that this will give a fuller sound than many of the satellites available.

I also listened to the Atlantic Technology 270 system which I liked a lot. I listed to the Definitive Tech speakers but they are not as bright as I like. I have also listened to the Paradigm Studio 40's and Monitor 3's and like them both a lot even though I do not hear much of a differnce between the two with the entire 5.1 surround setup.

Please give me some suggestions on what you all would recommend. Your help is appreciated.

Phil,

Is the bass good with the 965's even though they are smaller than most traditional dedicated subs? Also, did you use a BA center for the system?
