Receiver recommendation for Klipsch Quintet iii

[Fourhourwindow]

I have the Klipsch Quintet iii speaker set, along with a Klipsch 350 watt sub. Can anyone recommend a good 5.1 or 7.1 receiver? I'd love something with a built in eq that I can adjust, but not mandatory. I'm currently thinking about Denon. Thanks in advance!

Look at the discontinued Yamaha RX-V471. Sound wise it is better than the low priced Denon's in my opinion and I was a huge Denon fan. After doing loads of research on lower priced (sub $400) avr's I tested all of them and the Onkyo's and Yamaha's sounded the best. The Yamaha has an adjustable EQ that actually works and the HDMI output was far superior to the similarly priced Denon. For @ $200 it is not bad, if you need internet connectivity, the newer model (rx-v473) and discontinued (rx-v671) are both stellar compared to budget denon. Budget Denon is a risky proposition IMO. Like budget H-K but without the nice looks.

I reiterate Just my opinion.

Audio is subjective - the Denon 1612 is a good option, and
is efficient in 5.1 surround mode - the 75 watt receiver still
has 71 watts per channel, driving the speakers in surround
mode. Most receivers tend to fall short in that area. > Also,
I have no sound quality problems with the Denon brand, for
the different speakers that I hook up to it. The key area for
sound, comes from the speakers. However, the little Klipsch
Quintets will work with just about anything.

The Quintets are pretty easy to drive but crossover to the sub really high (~150hz) so I'd spend the extra few dollars for a Denon AVR-1712 or 1713 for Audyssey MultiEQ XT system.
