i have hooked up the H/K 130, to some discontinued bookshelf Axiom M1ti's, and they were absolutely screaming. the HK had plenty of punch, with a great feature grouping.

honestly, i think any of the mentioned brands(Onkyo, Yamaha, Denon, HK, Pioneer Elite), will ALL be very respectible and comparible at the $500 range.. just my opinion.
