What are the best receivers you can get for a reasonable price today?

I just bought some awesome Acme Hi-Fi speakers, but now I need a receiver to complete my home theather setup. Anyone have any suggestions?

What are you looking to spend? Receivers can range from a couple hundred dollars to thousands of dollars. Denon makes good low end, Yamaha mid-range, and Pioneer high-end.

Pioneer makes the best receivers hands down!

A friend of mine is using a pioneer receiver and loves it.

I would say that Denon actually makes the best consumer level receiver.
