My brother in law put in a set of HTD level 2's and i have to admit for the price they seem to perform very well. I would suggest adding a subwoofer as the speakers are crisp. He is pushing them with a Onkyo TX-SR705 and has Polk sub, center, and rears. We built a very good sounding budgeted...
Thanks for all the great reviews, i have been in the market to upgrade a 7 year old Yamaha and the choices are very confusing. Denon seems like it may have the edge though.
