Which AV Receiver?


Hi,

I have a pair of Klipsch RP-8000F floorstanding speakers.
I am a little unclear about what I need to complete my setup.
I want to use these as home theatre speakers when watching Netflix or Satellite TV, and also as music speakers when playing off Spotify through the TV or via iPhone. 

The guys in the Amp forum recommended an AV Receiver but I don’t know anything about AV Receivers.
Are they able to power the speakers and bring out the best in them? I heard Denon, Onkyo, Marantz, are all good brands. Perhaps you can suggest a few models ranging from 300-1000 in price. 

I need enough channels to add in a sub (I have Klipsch R-12SW) and potentially a center speaker (yet to buy but probably will get the Klipsch RP-504C) at a later stage. 
I am a newbie to all of this so willing to learn, please forgive my lack of knowledge.

If you need more information please let me know. 
Many thanks in advance!

Get the Denon AVR-X2500H. Available for $399 with FREE shipping from eBay seller "wwstereo" of Hatfield, PA. List price is $799! Ten available!
World Wide Stereo is an authorized Denon dealer. Use the money saved to get a pair of smaller Klpsch to use in the rear!
Get the AVR-X2600H. Plenty of power! No problem with driving your Klipsch speakers! Spending more (2X, 3X, 4X...) will not get "better" sound! Like I’ve said get a smaller pair of Klipsch speakers for the rear. No need for a center speaker (will only degrade the sound). 
Here is a Rotel A12 integrated amp with DAC. 120 wpc. £700 + shipping. Available from UK eBay seller "emlu17-4". Located in Halifax, W.Yorkshire. NEW IN BOX - never used! Silver finish!
