The Denon outweighs the other two by 4 lbs. Judging by the fact they are all class a/b amps, the heavier the unit, usually the better the power supply and heat sink for heat dissapation. I'm sure they're all good entry units. Ubid usually has the 5xx series for around $150 shipped. They also offer good deals on Denon and Pioneer.

Normally I'd vote for Onkyo in the low end category, but that Denon does look pretty nice for the money.

I have the onkyo unit and like it so far. I have only had it for a month. The first one blew up on me (capacitor went bad). But it was open box. So theres not telling why.
