Onkyo SR804, Denon, yamaha RXV2500 or HTR 5990, HTR6090 Check the net for prices they are very variable . www.butterflyphoto.com has good prices and models come and go on their site every few days.

which hk receiver do you have?
what is your goal in upgrading?
hk receivers are not bad at all... unless you are wanting hdmi switching, I would suggest sticking w/ what you have and save for components, or something a real step up...
check out B&K components, and even their receivers if you want to look for an upgrade, but this is way above your $600 range...
just my opinion, but unless your hk is very very old, you won;t get much improvement in going with a $600 receiver...
then again, I am guessin you have a decent hk... if your hk is total junk, of course you could find something better...

For $600 you aren't going to upgrade all that much. Maybe check into a used Pioneer Elite or another higher model HK or Onkyo. However, I doubt you'll notice that much difference unless your current unit is utter junk.

A better question is, 'which speakers do you have?'

I suspect the money may be better spent here...

I am very pleased with my Cerwin Vega speaker setup, I have the HK AVR 135, and i will not change speakers, i love CW, and the i do want to get into HDMI because of my television, HD cable, and of course Blue ray.

Maybe a big ars sub? Like this? http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=300-764

I agree with the others. Unless there is something wrong with your HK, you're better off keeping it.
