In reply to:

Sam, as chess indicated, disregard any nonsense that you may have read about certain brands of receivers having distinct sound characteristics which may not match certain speakers well. All competently-designed receivers/amps have equally "great highs" and matching makes no sense. The Denon is very well-featured and would make an excellent choice.



Sorry John I'm not clear with this one. Are you saying that all receivers sound the same? Got a graph I can see that shows that? lol :-)
