I just recently got the onkyo TX-SR501 and love it. So for that price... I'd recommed the TX-SR601. I auditioned it also and really liked it, I just didn't want to spend the extra money on it.

Marantz SR5400 if you want a current model, but the 5300 is on sale for $399 at Cambridge Soundworks, an authorized dealer.

The 601 has good power, lots of features and should do well all around.

Onkyo TX-SR700 from Onecall.com - $428 ($450 shipped 3-day for me). Refurbished, but full factory warranty (1yr) mine said it had minor cosmetic defects, but none that I can see (or likely they were fixed by Onkyo when refurbed).
Awesome f@$%ing receiver, I love it.

I'm digging my HK 225 
factory refurb for $230, running LFE to a Nad 218thx and it's stunning.

HK 325 for $449.06 including shipping at www.6ave.com
That unit will sound great with Klipsch speakers. The laid back sound HK should match well with the bright Klispch speakers. The perfect balance. The strong point of the HK is the 2 channel sound, not sure how important that is to you. |

Gregory,
I love my Yamaha reciever. 6.1 surround with DD and DTS decoders. I'll give you the model # if you are interested. Amazing crystal clear sound and plenty of inputs. Good power output as well.
Mike
