Denon made/makes good stuff. I think they were always a little bit more 'high end' than the vast majority of mass market audio equipment. They were a bit more expensive too. I think most of the mass market manufacturers 'lost their way' in the transition from discrete components to large scale integrated circuits and digital everything. But you can still find some good units in the late 80's 90's and early 2000's among the Japanese brands. Of course there are some not so good models as well. I have found that along with some Denon models, you can find some Onkyo, Luxman, and Yamaha models from that era that have been good. One of the surprises I have found is that some of the Sony ES receivers I have come across sound much better than I expected. Much better build quality than the ordinary Sony models as well...
