FWIW, Marantz has a good reputation for the quality of their 2-channel analog audio reproduction, so the AV8003 might be a reasonable choice. (It's what I have, so I'm biased. 
)
It doesn't have all of the most recent gimmicks, though: no height or wide channel support, Audyssey is only MultiEQ, not XT or Pro, and it can't apply any processing while decompressing the Dolby and DTS lossless audio formats. They have to be decompressed to LPCM by the player if you want Audyssey or ProLogic applied to them.
