Looking for good, budget upgrade from Onkyo TX-DS494

I've had a Fluance AV-53 5.1 set of speakers hooked up to an old Onkyo TX-DS494 receiver for a few years now.

I got the receiver cheap on eBay and always knew it probably wasn't that great. My question is - is it a good match for the speakers that I have now or if I get something better will I enjoy a noticeable difference with this Fluance set?

How much do you want to spend on a receiver ? What features are you looking for ?

It's probably fine as far as power is concerned but all the newer receivers have some type of room calibration software that helps optimize the system for your room.

How much are you willing to spend for a new receiver?
