You might want to shop ebay for a good quality receiver. I think the yamaha is the way to go. I have a yamaha RX-V992 that is similar to what you are looking for, it just does'nt do the auto set-up (bought the 2400 last year for that). I have seen it on ebay once or twice going for closing bids of up to 600.00. Just depends on whether you want new or used. But it is an awesome receiver regardless.
