Urgent-AVR needed-analytic overload! ~$500

Ok, I am working on an AVR budget of ~$500 +/-.

Room is 14x15 and I am hoping to get some paradigms to wall mount.

TV is a panny 54G20. Obviously no 3-d. Do I want 3-d in my AVR for the future? Can you allow 3d to simply pass through to the display if the AVR does not 'support' 3d?

I would like network ability as well as internet radio.

I am probably sticking with 5.1. I don't feel the need for 7.1/7.2, but if the receiver has it, I can try to double up the fronts if its allowed. Dual zone is nice.

I've been looking at the Yam 667, the Onkyo NR807/808, Yam A700, HK 3600...i'm dizzy actually.

I know some of these AVRs go over $500 list. There have been some good deals here or there so I've included them. Please help me as my head hurts.

The room will be multi-use. Tv during the day/night and movies on the weekends with some xbox for me. I would also like to play music and miss having a good system to do that.

Am I on the right track? Can you point me in the right direction? Is there an AVR for less that will only sacrifice an option or so?

Thanks.

I have searched and searched and searched. Technical data, which you provided more of, is abundant...everywhere.

I am looking for the subjective. Those who may own a particular machine and have ascertained its flaws or attributes.

Thanks though.

Thanks everyone. U had narrowed my search to the 667 and was looking at the pioneers, but then I started hearing 'marantz' is warmer, yamaha this, Onkyo that.

I know Cnet gave the pioneers a great review. The iPod connectivity is nice... I am noticing that I need to spend 650+ for network connectivity.

I'm sorry. I didnt realize the 1120 did that. I hadnt been focusing on the pioneers but am currently checking them out. Thx!

I want easier firmware updates and ability to stream Internet radio.

Can you connect a pc through this connection? I would really like that option.
