This means I will need to replace my Audiosource Amp Seven T/Tuner Two combo with a new receiver. I don't know much about receivers, but I am sure I want some sort of MultEQ, 3+ HDMI inputs, and a good discrete amp section. My budget is around $500 or less... I appreciate value!

Here are some local options, my favourites marked with a *. Anyone more experienced -- are there any good deals here? Or do you have any better alternatives? Seems like the good Denon and Onkyo units don't depreciate much!

The Denon/Onkyo seem like the best amplifiers overall. The Marantz is a pretty neat concept too... I am not averse to class D as long as it is done right (loving my current class T amp anyways). The Yamaha I am mostly unfamiliar with, but it seems like a so-so choice.
