I really appreciate the help guys. I think I'm going to go with the Denon 1804. The only reason that I want the 601 is because it has a meaner look (like it could kick your ass) and it has the lower crossover adjustment (I probably don't need that low of an adjustment but it's nice to know I have it for the future) The Denon offers a phono input that I won't use because I'm to young to own LP's but I might get into that in the future.

Ecost shows only 1 left so I will order first thing in the morning. If they are out, then I guess I will take my chances in the next few months to find the 601 for <$300.
Again, thanks for the input guys.
