After reading until my eyes hurt and wringing my hands over what receiver to buy I have narrowed the list down to 4 candidates. I have taken all of your advice and soaked it all in and then went to read more and have come to this list:

HK AVR 3805
Yamaha RX-V2500
Marantz SR8400
Denon AVR 3806

I understand that they are all good choices but I am having trouble picking one over the other. Help

By the way I have decided on the following speaker combination

2-M60T's fronts
4-QS8's surrounds
1- VP150 Center
1- EP500 subwoofer

I also currently have a Velodyne CT120 sub that I have been happy with and would consider running 2 subs if you guys think that is a good idea. Kinda thinking that the EP500 is going to blow me away anyway and will not need it. If not I will just use it in my upstairs den to set up surround for my kids with my old components.

Good catch Brady. I didn't see that until you mentioned it.

The Marantz seems easier to find the best price right now which Im sure is a direct result of UBids recent auction

All of those AVR's would drive that system great. It really depends on what bells and whistles your looking for and how you plan to use the receiver. I'm assuming your planning on something good for HT, and something great for music as well? All of these will perform fine. I would look at the options of each closely and decide from there.....If that doesn't work flip a coin or coins
