HK230/235, Denon 1804 or Onkyo TX-SR601?

I just need to pick an under $400 receiver for 5 HomeTHeaterDirect Level 3 towers. Add to my choices the Panasonic SR45 (the with digital amps). Please help me choose.

I am sure there are alot of decent ones out there for $400 or less but I have rarely heard of someone regretting a Denon purchase.  I went from Sony to Denon and I'm not looking back.

I don't think anyone can tell you which one to choose. *That being said, I would stick with the H/K, Denon or Onkyo. *You might even look at the Yamaha and Marantz offerings in that range. *Try and listen to them all. *Either way, I think you will be happy with any of the ones mentioned above.

Bye the way, I had to Onkyo 601 for about 2 months and I liked it alot.  I ended up getting rid of it but not because of it's performance or quality,  just stupid thinking on my part about possibly getting seperates.  Long story.
