Thank you for the advice so far. I have narrowed down to four receivers based on you guys inputs, Onkyo TSXR705, 805, yamaha V861, V1800. With the exception of V1800, all of them fall into my price range.
I buy most electronic stuff at cructfield, they are excellent customer support. Here is the comparison table for the receivers. Can you guys give a look and help me decide.

The prices are:
Onkyo TXSR705: $650
Yamaha RX-V861: $900
Onkyo TXSR805: $750
Yamaha RX-V1800: $1,200.
I think the Onkyo 705 specification is similar to Yamaha 861 and the Onkyo 805 similar to Yamaha V1800 but the price differ so much!
