Default Advice on Receiver

In article .net,
says...

According to the manual and their website description, MOSFET amp, THX
certified.

I've heard it driving 2 different set of speakers and it has no
peculiarities that I can discern.


Looks like a remarkable deal. I've never seen a THX certified receiver
at such a low pricepoint.

One thing that I noticed: on the specs they list THD at 0.2% - I fully
confess my ignorance of such things, but is that possibly audible? The
only reason I bring it up is that, for example, the Denon receiver I own
(2106) has somewhat similar specs (lower power though and not THX), but
they list THD at 0.08%

Would these still largely sound the same below clipping?
