Thanks for the tips. I'm going to check out Outlaw and some mid range Yamaha/HK receivers. It is mainly going to be used for HT applications.
I was in Futureshop today and I saw the Sony STRDE695S receiver. It claims to have 100 watts output and also does svideo and component switching. The URL to the product is here: http://www.sonystyle.ca/commerce/servlet/ProductDetailDisplay?storeId=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=10001&productId=167766&navigationPath=32100n32104
Is this Sony just a waste of money, or for 399$ CND would this be ok to power the Axioms? Would I really notice a difference in sound quality between this and say a HK or Yahama receiver?
