So this is my first post, but I've been lurking for a few weeks putting together thoughts on home theater equipment. I'm moving to a new apartment and wanted to setup a nice system for the living area with mixed listening of music and movies. I've pretty much decided on getting the new Andrew Jones speakers, SP-FS52 for my L/R fronts, the SP-C22 for my center, the SP-BS22 for the rear surrounds, and the Energy S10.3 for a sub.

What receiver should I pair them with? I mostly use my PS3 for movies and streaming, I will have HD coming from a Comcast STB and have a turntable that I would like to hook up to it. I can budget up to $650 for a receiver, so I was looking at the Denon AVR-2113CI which provides airplay which would be nice for streaming music from any of the 3 computers in my apartment, as well as giving me the option to go up to 7.1 when the circumstances allow. Though the Denon AVR-1713 is cheaper and provides the same Audyssey MultEQ XT as the AVR-2113CI. I looked at the Onkyo TX-NR616, but the reports of all the problems is very off-putting.

I'm looking for a receiver that I could grow my home theater into rather that just flat out replace. Are there any other recommendations for receivers that would accomplish my needs and fit my budget?
