I'm in the market for a new AV receiver. I have a budget of $500-$800, so I guess I'm looking at entry level stuff. It's replacing a Pioneer VSX-517, and I've been pretty happy with that. So that gives you some idea of performance expectations.

It will be driving a 5.1 set of Wharfdale Crystals (which came with the receiver approximately 8 years ago), and these will not be getting replaced.

It will be used for TV/movie watching, gaming, and music playback (largely via vinyl). The most common music genre will be rock/metal.

Essential features are:

- 5.1 support

- Dolby Prologic II support (hoping this is standard now, but doesn't hurt to check)

- At least 4 HDMI inputs, with support for 3D output

- Integrates with a Harmony 650 Universal remote

- At least one analog stereo input

Nice to have features:

- Built-in phono pre-amp

- Bluetooth

- Network streaming

I've seen this Harmon Kardon at JB HiFi that seems to fit the bill, but I'm open to recommendations.
