The Denon AVR-3300 is a good receiver, though as others have observed, your two channel system will likely outperform it in stereo. My 3300 certainly doesn't have the imaging or low end oomph of my separate stereo. If you really are an audio guy, you may find giving up your stereo for HT pretty unsatisfying.

The 3300 does a fine job on HT and a decent if unexceptional job on music. The main advantage of a 3300 at this time would appear to be price. Since the Denon 4800 and 3801 came out, I've seen this receiver as low as $500 on the net. But be warned: this receiver has a reputation for having problems. I've never had a day of trouble with mine, but you might want to spend some time at www.audioreview.com to see what others have experienced. Because of the bad press, I bought mine locally, I paid more, but I wanted the ability to get after-the-sale support, something often lacking with net sales.

Good luck!
