Thanks so much to all of you for your help and advice. You guys are so overwhelmingly happy with your speakers that you have convinced me to go ahead and order the M60 (as soon as I decide between oak or cherry). Now I am lost in the sea of receivers. Top end to spend for me is about $600, have pretty much decided against Yamaha but now trying to decide between Denon and HK. Again, mostly music, older rock and concert DVD, loud and clear but do want at least 5.1 and also will use turntable. My Onkyo has all sorts of fancy modes, none of which I care for, so I guess to me bells and whistles are ok, but sound and power are more important. Everyone on this post seems to be so knowledgeable so I look forward to your input.
