I second Elorian's recommendation on the Nakamichi, Denon, and Marantz; for the sub-$1k range, I would also add the Arcam AVR100 to the audition list.
Good luck and happy listening!

Is there a Musical HT Receiver....?
I currently use a Luminous Audio Axiom volume knob and an Acurus A150 with an Adcom GCD 750 but I now want to include HT in my setup. Is there a receiver that will sound as musical as the Acurus but provide DTS and pro logic? I'm using Paradigm Monitor 9's for the fronts. I would appreciate any advice for brands or configurations to the setup.
