I'd rather see B&K or HK for the receiver with the edge going to B&K. Cleaner output than the Denon. Don't get hung up on the power too much. The difference between 100 and 130 watts is meaningless. You've got to double it for anything worth while. I'm not even going there on the speaker end of things. Just remember that your ears frequency response changes as the volume changes so often the choice in speakers is affected by how they sound at the volume you normally listen to.
