Hello friends from audiokarma :) !

I am on a very low budget,so I have a chance to own one of these amplifiers listed down below.I will hook up the Amp with a pair of Pioneer Prologue 5 Speakers up and one subwoofer (car stereo) Blaupunkt GTb300HP.
What amplifier listed down there will perform the best with this setup ? I know none of them will work Like a charm with setup like this but what of them will push them correctly for nice sound and daily use ?

Here the models :
Onkyo A-8640
Sony TA-F411R
Pioneer A202
Technics SU-V65A
AKAI AM-U02
Technics SU 600
YAMAHA R-3
Yamaha RX-450
Technics SU V40
Technics SU-Z960
Denon DRA-25
Yamaha RX-396RDS
Sony TA-F110
Sony TA F445R
Personally I think that the RX450 would do a good job or the DRA25,am I wrong ?

I really dont know if I posted this thread in a wrong subforum,but please dont delete the post,just put it there where it belongs.

Every help is welcome and I appreciate it :)

I'd get the Onkyo.
Lots of power
Remote control
I have some Onkyo stuff and I like it
some are receivers and if you need radio, the receiver will pull the stations in. The integrated amps will not.
 
I can comment on the brands I used to sell.

Yamaha: The R-3 wa sa very nice little entry level receiver, the other two would be a step up. Very close between the 450 and 396. I might give the slight edge to the 396 based on inside shots I just checked out but condition would make more difference than which model.

Denon: The DRA-25 is a sleeper. Entry level and more purist from a SQ point of view than some of the higher models. I would probably go for this one based on the fact they probably sell for very little these days and they did sound good. Cooling is via a Freon filled tube, these can leak over time and reduce cooling but probably not a huge concern.
 
Thanks for help,All amps here are in mint condition.I never use radio because I will connect the one on my PC via AUX,I just need a suggestion which one should I buy ?
 
There is probably no one who has heard all of those and can decide for you. Of the ones I know I would probably go with the Denon for a pure 2 channel set up. If you need a subwoofer out or will have digital sources in the future that would tip it towards the RX-V396.
