Most people seem to enjoy the 2 ch sound of Maramtz products based on what I have read in HT newsgroups. I guess they are smooth sounding units.
If your tv doesn't have a component input,and you have fairly efficient speakers, the Outlaw Audio 1050. Excellent imaging and very accurate and detailed mids and highs. Got mine in June, very satisfied. Only sold thru their website.
Huijames: If you are putting together a system that is going to serve double duty as a music system and then as a home theater system, then I only have one suggestion as far as a home theater receiver goes. NAD!!!! Is there anything else out there worth considering?? I think not. --Charles--
I bought a Denon 2800 listing at $800, for HT use only but was pleasantly surprised at it's ability to play music. I now use it for music when serious listening is'nt on the menu and find it to very satisfying.
