Stick with your plan Don. The Denon 6300 is one of the Japan units. It is widely adopted and should be fine. Decent power onboard and extremely flexible when it comes to tuning later.

A couple of the guys on here with the Anthem setups have advanced experience and are in treated rooms. I would get to their level of setup first before you go all out on a separates system. You wont get a full return on your investment until your setup and room are in order.

Just go with your original plan and don't get too hung up on overthinking. It will be great. And totally fun! smile Share pics!
