avr receiver help

i am setting up a home theater system and was wondering what brand avr receiver do you think would sound best with infinity mts preylude speakers and center channel, i am planning on buying something in the $1000 to $1500 price range, but want to get something that will complement my infinitys and will also sound great for two channel music, so preylude owners have you tried different brands of receivers and what one do you prefer.
thanks

The Onkyo 805 was $599 yesterday at Amazon. That's a seriously good deal. The 805 is a powerhouse and has great features and connectivity.

no hdmi, but the analog outs sound clearly superior

in response to the last two posts, i saw those adds but i got to make up my mind on what brand receiver is going to work best with my infinity speakers, i do not know about the new onkyos but my brother has about a five year old onkyo 500 something in the mid price range running infinity overture 3's and he told me that it does not pick up fm signals all that well, is that a problem with the newer onkyos.

I don't even use the radio in my Onkyo. I use a Squeezebox to fill my radio needs.

the only reason that i asked about the fm section on the onkyo is because i listen to fm alot, on my other system with seperates i'm using a sony st-s730es tuner and it is amazing it comes in crystal clear and there is no need for an hd tuner or a squeezbox.
