Denon and Onkjo are a good choice in this price range.
Try to listen both with the future speakers.
And yes, you can run your TV over the amp (for the sound)
Have fun...

1. not only different systems affect the outcome, but also the volume
that the music is played at has an affect. I am playing at quite a low
volume and therefore this has an effect on the balance which might seem
overemphasised when played at
I have to say I have found the past week very rewarding and at least
some of the confusion has contributed to some very civil and thoughtful
posting.
It is a long way from the early days here of very positive and negative
posting which at times drove me away from this forum.

Have you heard of the Outlaw Audio brand of receivers? They are very
highly regarded on Audiogon at least, and they are very inexpensive for
what you get. I would go for one of those, or a used Arcam, or the $400
NAD integrated amp before I went with one of your choices.

Hopefully you can reveal the watchdog mystery when you're back. :)
Is it alive og is it killed?
Over to something interesting, I hope:

don't know why watchdog makes a difference, but it does. there is
definately more detail at chrt -o -p 0 13 and a smoother sound at chrt

other effects are more difficult to separate from psychological effects

couldnt see the same thing with the TT3.0 installed.

We have such different opinions, that I'm beginning to wonder if it's
all in our heads... ::
The SBGK-settings are more soft, calm,

might be worth trying. also, *setting watchdog pid 13 to 30 or other
values may remove some of the smoothness and add more detail.*

hi Soundcheck,
it was a joke, he is ex logitech anyway
I would say there have been huge discoveries in the last week or so.
Can you explain why TT3.0 moved away from SBT defaults as I and a
number of others find it too forward and aggressive. I have not seen
this question asked of you before.

Yes, it's Shunyata Venom 3 driving my power amp. It replaced my much
pricier Nordost power cable, which is now delegated to powering my
pre-amp. Shunyata offered much more liquid sound

I asked that server question because it *does* make a diff here. I

Put TT3.0 default and Guido F (early p62 SBGK) together and SBGK and

IMO the Guido F and TT3.0 defaults are similar except a few values, and

I'm running SBGK and must admit I enjoy it. :)
