I would look into the Yamaha line and see what you could find at a discount...
When my AV-8 died,this is what I did and at well under half the price!
It outperformed my Nakamichi in almost every way (although setting it up was more complex, but once done it worked very well).
You'd be surprised to see how far along quality has increased for less and less bucks.
I also have heard some nice things in regard to the Denon line as well.
Good Luck!
