I’d stick with either ….

G'day Abe,

...Denon or Yamaha.



I have both and find the Yamaha to have slightly better processing and slightly easier to use. BUT, as far as the sound goes when used as a receiver I think they are pretty close to each other. (I use power amps with both of mine so I’m going off memory)

Caveat; I have models higher up the food chain than you are looking at but from what I remember the current line-up of receivers from both Denon & Yamaha are pretty good and only personal preference will determine which you prefer.

Oh, none of them, Yamaha, Denon, Marantz, Onkyo & Sony output anything like their claimed output. I believe HK is pretty close to claimed power output but I have no personal experience with them. I’d stay away from NAD.

Lastly, I have heard Sherwood (Newcastle) range and I was very impressed BUT it was with gear I know nothing about. (might be one to consider if you can HEAR it before buying ~ corse they are keenly priced)

Good luck
