What receiver should I buy?


I need some help my fellow audio fans. I need to replace my beloved Harmon Kardon AVR 7300. I just want something that has HDMI. I want to spend under $2000.00. It doesn't have to be new technology. I just want to be able to continue enjoying my 5.1 Klipsch set-up at high volumes. Does anyone have any suggestions? My 7300 is old tech but a high current monster. I need something close.   Speakerwise I run Klipsch, RF 82s, an RC64, RS52's and an RW12D.  I just use it for watching movies and the occasional rock concert video (AC/DC) and the like.  I'm not an audiophile.  My hearing sucks but I do need good clean power.  The Integra DTR 70.4 has the weight and the stats  but the reviews say it's under powered.  I'm willing to buy refurbished models and "new in the box" stuff that several years old.  What should I get and where can I get it.

Thank you.  Those are  both good options.  I think I may want to see if about getting the inexpensive AVR that has all the HDMI inputs that I want and see if I can plug into the 7300 for the power.  If that can work, I can limp along a long time before replacing the 7300 with a proper stand alone amp.
I found this while doing some research.  It certainly looks more beastly then what I have now.  Does anyone know anything about it?   The price looks great.  http://emotiva.com/products/amplifiers/xpa-5
Thank you everyone.  I just confirmed my order for the Emotiva XPA-5 G2.  That should take care of my power needs for decades to come and I'm going with the Outlaw 975.  That should be a substantial upgrade over my HK AVR 7300.  Now I just have to find someone to gift my old receiver to.
