Charles the H/K AVR 354 is only rated for 75 watts per channel and are rather pricey at around $750-$800 each. Seems like the Denons have a few more features and are priced a little better so I believe most folks are going that route although I'd go with an H/K just because of the very good luck I've had with my old 635 which is also a 75 watt per channel unit that I've driven the 80's fairly hard with and have had our VP100 and 150 paralleled (3.4 ohms) for the past two years without nary the first problem.
