My aged Denon 635R has been slowly dying over the last year,
so I need to start looking for a replacement. Two channels only!

I am pushing 4 AR 2ax acoustic suspension, inefficient, speakers
(2 in each of 2 rooms, A and B) with no AV and no surround sound.
I need a PHONO input, along with CD, DVD, VCR, and tape. I use the
turntable a lot.

So far I have looked at Denon 685, Yamaha RX 777, Onkyo TX8511
and SONY STR DE898. The Onkyo has no coax connector for the antenna.
The Denon's input switching (relays?) sounds really cheesy. Don't know
much about the Yamaha, but it seems likely. The SONY looked
kinda chintzy.

Suggestions or preferences welcome!
