College budget reveiver help


Hey guys/gals!
Im a college student who is in the market for a receiver for around $750 (audiogon prices or otherwise). I only really need 5.1 but I know that most now days are 6.1 or 7.1 so that really does not matter. The receiver will power three (3) JM Lab Sibs (I will get the rear pair when money allows!) So far I have looked at Yamaha, Harmon Kardon, Marantz, and the lower line of Integras. Im open to any other brands so any advice will help! Thanks for your time and info!
PS: Any advise on a good 8' or 10' sub? ($250-$300)?

Strongly urge you to look into the NAD line of receivers for home theater. The 700 series is excellent and within your price range; you won't be disappointed.

You can't go wrong with HK. I've tried them all and I keep one on hand because I always end up going back to it. If you don't like HK, I'd suggest Rotel at your price point; you can't go wrong with them either.

For your sub, I'd suggest HSU.
One other line I forgot to mention is NAD. They are sweet as well - really nice smooth sound.
You are full of choices and I'm a Denon fan for receivers, you can get a 3805 for that price and you won't be sorry.
