You may be able to find this model a bit closer to your budget at another retailer and I've known for Crutchfield to match other reputable online retailers price. In a shoot out between Elite, Onkyo & Yamaha, top models a friend and I clearly found the Yamaha to have better sound quality. This model has everything you want including built in streaming features. http://www.crutchfield.com/s_022RXA3...amaha+receiver

I've found the Marantz receivers to be good performers but have not heard one beside Yamaha.
