There's a lot of stuff out there. Try to listen as much as possible at
dealers and shows. You'll quickly realise a lot of stuff doesn't sound
that great. Plenty of good stuff in between though.
My favourite system ever is not available commercially, it's a DIY

You're in Seattle? There must be a few good audio dealers in the area.

The best way to listen to a lot of kit is to check out some hi-fi shows.
You don't want to buy purely off the basis of your listening there, but

Does your Denon have preouts?
If so, you have a nice upgrade path if you ever want to go to a
separate preamp/poweramp like many audiophiles have. You may want to
just connect the preouts to a nice 2-channel amp and go from there to
