I guess what I am getting at with the recievers is that I originally tried the Denon 2805 receiver with the BW 603 fronts and it sounded a bit sluggish. The salesperson said that you would normally use a better receiver for 603 speakers so he connected them to the Rotel 1056 receiver and the music CD which I brought came to life (much more brighter and lively). I asked the salesperson to switch over to the Arcam 200 reciever (which is almost the same price as the Rotel) and it sounded in between the Rotel and Denon (brightness and lively).

At another store I tried the Integra 5.5 and it sounded pretty close in terms of liveliness compared to Rotel 1056. I can look at all the specs I want but hearing is the final decision. The Denon 2805 is pretty much out of the picture. Its funny though because the Denon 2805 and Integra 5.5 is almost the same price so I am wondering how can there be such a distinct difference in performance ?
