I also recently purchased one of these and I love it. While it's a bit more than you want to spend, an authorized H/K dealer, J&R Music World (http://www.jrmusicworld.com) sells the AVR525 for roughly $650 (give or take a little) and 6th Avenue Electronics (http://www.6ave.com) sells it for $633. I'm pretty sure (but not certain) they are also an authorized HK dealer.
