Hi audiophiles, I am in need of a new stereo to replace my ancient Aiwa, and as it stands the choice has come down to the Denon D-M33 [1]: it has enough line inputs for my current needs (one extra would have been nice), it seems to be of sufficiently high quality (in regard to audio quality as well as physical build), and more importantly -- its WAF* is quite excellent.
But perhaps you guys will tell me that this M33 is a hopelessly dumb choice for some reason, and that I ought to go with so-and-so instead of wasting my money; so just in case here is my post. As a secondary option, the Yamaha Piano Craft E400 [2] also meets WAF standards, albeit just barely since it comes in (gasp!) two stacked units. An alternative should be in the same price range, have at least 2 line inputs (dvd+squeezebox), and be solid enough so as to expect a fairly long life span. I don't care much about DAB, as I am quite content with the diversity of Internet radio. So, any comments? I'd much appreciate it!
