would be largely influenced by your room and speakers. the new hk receivers are very good bang for the buck.

Stay away from Yamahas. I have a small HT system and the receiver has a shrill sound. NAD or Anthem might be pretty good.

Can't wait to replace my receiver but I rarely use it.

Neutral is not necessarily sterile. Your room's acoustics play a much larger role in this than does any difference among receivers.
