Thanks everyone for your infomation on the matter. I went with an open box Denon AVR-1712 and it works great and got a great deal on it.

I'm now considering the Denon AVR-1312, because of its price point. It's entry level but it appears to be what I need. Will it handle the rf-82's for music/gaming/movies?

No more than $500 on the receiver. I'll most likely use it for a bit of everything, a receiver that can handle that will most likely be my choice. I'm thinking about getting the Denon AVR-1713.

Hey everyone, I just bought a pair of the Klipsch Reference (RF-82) speakers from a sale at a local store. I'm starting to set up a home theather in my basement for the first time.I'm looking at doing a 2.1 setup. I'll be picking up a subwoofer later in the year. My question is, how do I go about choosing a reciever that will power these speakers and how do i tell? I'm just entering this world, and I would apperciate any education on the subject. I'm not looking for anything fancy with the receiver either. I'll be simply adding a DVD player, cable box and my xbox to it.
