After a few posts and lengthy research I'm finally honing in on the pieces for my HT system, but I have yet to decide on the heart of my system...my AVR. Given the info below and a firm budget of $550, which AVR would you buy?

Room: Non-dedicated, 20 wide by 15 deep w/9ft ceilings. Also, 99% of system use will be for movie and TV viewing.

Gear:

AVR: ????
Power center: Monster HDP 2500
Display: Panasonic TH-50PZ800U THX plasma
Speakers: SVS SBS-01 5.1 system
Blue Ray: Panasonic DMP-BD30K
DVD/DVD-R: Samsung DVD-VR357
DVR: Box from cable provider
