What receiver should I buy?

I need some help my fellow audio fans. I need to replace my beloved Harmon Kardon AVR 7300. I just want something that has HDMI. I want to spend under $2000.00. It doesn't have to be new technology. I just want to be able to continue enjoying my 5.1 Klipsch set-up at high volumes. Does anyone have any suggestions? My 7300 is old tech but a high current monster. I need something close.   Speakerwise I run Klipsch, RF 82s, an RC64, RS52's and an RW12D.  I just use it for watching movies and the occasional rock concert video (AC/DC) and the like.  I'm not an audiophile.  My hearing sucks but I do need good clean power.  The Integra DTR 70.4 has the weight and the stats  but the reviews say it's under powered.  I'm willing to buy refurbished models and "new in the box" stuff that several years old.  What should I get and where can I get it.

My buddy is running a full RF-7 system(RF-7's, RC-7. RS-7's, RSW-15) in an 18W x 23L x 8H with an Onkyo TX-NR5009(same as the Integra 70.4) and believe me it is not lacking grunt.  Very dynamic with action movies and never seems to break a sweat.  Try the 70.4 and if it is not enough oooomph then just add an outboard stereo or 3 channel amp to the mix later on.
