The specs look good. Have you heard it in person? That will be the ultimate deciding factor in your decision. Unfortunately, I have never heard it and other than looking at specs on a website, I cannot say weather it is a good unit or not. Check it out at a shop that will let you give it a good test drive.
For other options you might try this one.
Denon AVR 3802 MSRP's for $1200. It's not THX, but has the amps (at 105WPC) for 6.1. There are many others in that price range. you should audition at least three units before you make a final decision.

Was it a dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid, with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?
