I'm in Napanee, between Belleville & Kingston, (and no, I don't know Avril Levigne - thankfully!).
Sorry for all these postings, but I'm in "information overload" now and getting totally confused, but I simply can't afford to get burned.
I wish buying a receiver were as simple as it was picking speakers (Axiom)!
I had seriously considered the Denon line but thought they were a little pricey (as if H/K isn't), and I haven't done any research at all on Marantz.
Any help on a deal (fairly close to me?) would be more than greatly appreciated.

Thanks everybody, you guys are great!
