$800-1000 home theater receiver

My Arcam AVR300 is going down and I need new receiver. Run a 5.1 system, although the Arcam lets me bi-amp/wire the left and right fronts. Would like HDMI and the new technology. My speakers are about 89db efficient and working with Direct TV HD receiver and Oppo 860 dvd. Plan to get a Blueray player in the near future. Romm is approximately 12x10. Any Suggestions.

Sensible Sound magazine did an exhaustive review of the Onkyo 805 (now the 806). The main point of the review was how Onkyo optimized the 805 for both music and HT reprodution. Apparently the receiver is over-spec'd and over-built. It is a $1000 receiver that J&R music is currently selling for $650
