Alex Scoble (itblogger) - "Good mid level receiver from Denon. Has 100 watts/channel by 7 channels of power, which really is the minimum you want to buy. Denon is currently the leader in quality consumer electronics. I used to recommend Onkyo receivers, but their quality and customer service has gone downhill in the last few years, so now I recommend Denon, which seems to be the only real quality brand left.
