I'm going to go with the epic grand master speakers less the sub..buying piece meal starting with the m22ti's. I thought I was settled on the denon 2805 but I've spent the day going from store to store looking for the best deal.

yamaha rx-v3300 for 630 no box demo
Marantz 7300 for 659 demo w/ box
Denon 2805 for 699 new
yammy v2400 for 795 new

90% movies 10% music>>70's 80's rock

All from authorized dealers so no warranty issues.

I'm torn mainly due to money issues ie the less I spend on a receiver the faster I can afford the speakers.

Help!!!
