First HT which Receiver

[Deepwater]

Ok just moved in my new home and have a dedicated media room. So far I have purchased a Sharp Aquos 52" and picked up the KEF 3005 system from CC for $236.00 (yes that is what I paid).

Here are receivers I am looking at-

Denon AVR-789
Denon AVR-889
Yamaha RX-V863
Yamaha RX-V663

i just bought the denon 1909 which is the same as the 798. Great price on it at 6th ave if you can find the 25% off coupon online.

I bought the RX-V863 'bout 6 months ago and I love it. I'm kinda partial to Yamaha though. This is my 3rd in the last 12 years or so. Buying this wouldn't be a mistake.

Well knowing that I have the KEF 3005 speakers which one would be the best tonal match? Also, is the really much differance between the higher and lower priced Denon and the higher and lower priced Yamaha...
