First time newbie with n00b questions: Receiver for Bose 301???

[Beethovenite]

Hi everyone, first time poster here! I'm about to purchase a used set of Bose 301 speakers and I'd like to set it up with a receiver to use with my computer, TV, DVD player, turntable, etc. I'm a music student and I'll mostly be listening to classical music. I'm obviously broke, so I'm looking at craigslist for a used set of A/V receivers... so far I've found the following:

Pioneer Elite VSX-99
Pioneer VSX-D414
Sony STR-DE685
Denon DRA 750
Yamaha HTR-5740

I realize these are POS systems for the hard core audiophiles, but again I'm broke so I'm trying to do the best with the budget I have (which is basically non-existent).

I'd appreciate any suggestion on how to set up my system and which receiver to buy. I was thinking of either of the Pioneers or the Yamaha. But I don't know what works best with the Bose 301s. Thanks in advance!

Hmm... I just realized I'm posting in the wrong forum. How do I delete this thread???

If you haven't bought the Bose yet you may want to consider a pair of Behringer B2030P ($130-150/pr shipped). As for receivers, speakers don't care about brand names just the amount and quality of power being fed them. I'd scratch the Sony off the list and then go down the feature list.
