You may also wish to look at the Sony STR-DA2400ES which is similar money to the TXSR606 to expand your options
Unfortunately the SR606 is at the top end of my budget (£330) so that rules the DA2400ES out straight away.

Biggest flaws I see for the denon are the remote, setup and lack of GUI.

I think the biggest flaw for the Onkyo is people say it is ugly (doesn't bother me) and the heat it kicks out, but I'm sure I can arrange some additional cooling [Haven't decided where to put it yet]

I originally did put in an order for some Yamaha NSP110's thinking that they would be good enough for a couple of years before I looked at upgrading again, and for £70 they seem to get some quite positive reviews, but people say when you hear the Jamo's they sound pretty rubbish in comparison, so I thought I might as well just go all out and spend the £200 from the outset [altho only spending £70 is quite tempting].
