I was just looking around. It is $200, but Pioneer's new VSX-519V-K looks to be a very nice receiver for the price. While it only has 2 HDMI ports they do support PCM (no HD codecs, but I prefer to do the decoding in the player anyway)--that's better than most receivers in this price range which only offer HDMI switching. 110 Watts x5 channels @8 Ohms (doesn't say in the specs, but I'm guessing all channels driven 20-20k it'll do about 85). Plus it is 5.1 so you can get started working on surround sound. All-in-all it's pretty impressive.
