I have a Denon for ht and it’s good. For that. It treads water as a 2 channel amp. Still...between that and the B&Ws.....the Denon wins. Best Buy/Magnolia is the WalMart of audio. With apologies to WalMart. He should have listened to you.

Trojan VIRUS Reported - Beware

Advice from Audiogon family - best speaker $3k-$4k

How many turntables have you owned?
oops....9. I forgot about a Thorens I had for a few years.  
What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest?
Maggie 3s were the tallest. My Goldenear T1s might be heaviest.
