Denon had some major production issues a few years back, their lower end amps had a tendency to either intermittantly or permanantly lose channels due to poor IC choices, they would burn out I assume, this means you see alot 2nd hand on craigslist but steer clear.
Not sure if there are still problems with them or not, I should also add they have always shared production with Yamaha so often you can get an identical Yamaha amp for less than the equivalent Denon, although as Denon has dropped down the price range into direct compatition Yamaha they may have stopped working together.
Personally I would go with 2nd hand Rotel, probably a pre amp processor and multi channel power amp set up, gives you alot more future flexability.
