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.
