I would say that any decent brand receiver in that price range would be fine, just get the one with the options you need. In my opinion, receivers are not "bright", "warm", etc., unless your introducing one of the DSP or tone features within the receiver.

Many people on this forum use Onkyo, Denon, HK, Yammy, Pioneer, etc. with all Axiom speakers as they are very easy to drive speakers that are very efficient.
