	Look carefully to make sure that they are an authorized
Denon dealer; if not you will be unable to receive warranty service
from a Denon service center in your area. 6th Avenue probably has
their own service warranty, but you need take make sure that it is
comparable to Denon's in quality and length of coverage. You will
also have to ship your receiver back to 6th avenue in order to
receive service. (Do they pay shipping, etc.?) I know that 6th
Avenue is not an authorized retailer for many of the brands that
they carry simply from looking at their ad.

	You mean the DRA-545 60wpc receiver, right? If so, I think
that it is a good choice. Their CD players are their real strength,
but I like their receivers as well. The DRA-545 should be fine,
unless you want to play loud music for extended periods of time.

	If you have the money, I would consider going for a low
cost pair of seperates, such as the Adcom GTP-400 Preamp/Tuner,
and the GFA-535II amplifier. This combo will be about twice as
expensive as the DRA-545, but is a much more robust and flexible
system.

	Good luck, and enjoy your system!
