<font color='#000000'>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.
