There is no such thing as "The Best", but what is "the Best" for your system. One could be the very best for someone, not necessary the best one for others. A single piece of your system doesn't dictate the whole thing, find what's best for your system is what leading us to this Audiogon's world here. People keep asking why (upgrades)? That's because most of us here still trying to find all the right pieces and the makeup of our systems. To answer to your question, you really have to play within your budget and move up from there. Start with some entry level from Denon, Marantz. You might find the right one for your system even before moving to much more higher prices.
