Receiver for Polk speakers

I am building a system that would be Polk RTi8's, CSi5, FXi3's and a Velodyne DSP 10B or 12B. I currently have the CSi5, but it sounds quite week, with my Yamaha 5760. I was thinking about upgrading to either the Yamaha RX-V2500, Denon AVR 3805 or the Harman Kardon AVR 635. I am focusing on the 635 because of their focus on high current, but the other two have more watts. Which one of these receivers would be best for this system?

Thanks,
BJP

Nice choices

HK = smooth, high current, top build quality
Denon = middle of the road, pretty solid unit
Yamaha = the better highs, best dsp settings

All are fine for power, but if you can swing a little more money, go with the HK7300 at www.jr.com. Twice the power of the above receivers.

If it's too much, check out the Marantz SR8400 at www.ubid.com
It's about identical to the 3805 and 2500 for a lot less.
