Thanks for the suggestions guys.

I had decided on getting a refurb Onkyo TX-8511 from J&R Music for $130. The next day when I went to order it they ran out of stock -_-

So I stretched my budget to $300 and looked around, but finally decided on getting the Onkyo new. I got it today and set it up. I don't mind the spring clips as I probably won't ever touch it again anyway. It doesn't have a sub out, but it's no biggie. This Onkyo sounds better than a lot of much more expensive receivers I've listened to.

I had a hard time deciding between the HK2480 and the TX-8511, I hope I made the right choice.
