The denon might be fine.. Depending on the speaker you end up with… My friend has an early 90's Class A receiver from them, it’s a higher regarded piece, it sounds nearly as good as some of the mono blocks in the higher prices today.. So YES give ...

Verdict???There is and always will be something better :-)Thats a guarantee.And it will ultimately come down to the speaker its paired with... However I will say none of the digital designs I have heard over the last 10 years will match any Pure C... 
Klipsch Heresy: Inexpensive Int. Amps or Receivers

Well I have one comment, you don't need 5 or 7 channel as you state..Definitely go for the best 2 channel gear that you like. I can suggest going and finding some shops that take in good used gear and speakers, you can find some gems that way too....

Sweet, they will match up better with the libtec cables for sure too…. It is a difference in synergy with the right cables especially on super high efficiency speakers and low power like this.Good Luck 
What should be under my speakers?
I have owned all of the above solutions… I have had each on wood and carpet… Starting with spikes on Granite or stone block(concrete)… This is probably one of the worst solutions I have heard actually.. And Even have used the same stone block on T...

Right I understand what you are saying, I agree the "DISC" format may not make it for sure!! And downloads will become more of the norm and renting etc... However for the time being the blu ray is a nice touch, but thats not what we are selling he...

Mcroth66As a final note on absolute standard DVD performance, either machine I have spent hours TWEAKING in with several factors in mind, I can make both perform as flawless as possible. And your display will make a big difference as well… As a ma...

OzzyBy the way I am being a little sarcastic here, but for me slow motion yada yada is the least of my worries watching a movie or playing a CD! Is there some major Blu ray porn releases out there for this or something :-) Seriously though I have ...

On my screen after adjustments... The S550 exceeds the the oppo 980 h, and is virtually equal to the 983, Again most DVD's have errors or flaws which will ghost or be fuzzy, or just crappy washed out color… No oppo fixes this.. however GOOD dvds' ...
