If it were me buying in the price range you've described, I'd automatically pare down my options to
Denon,
Pioneer Elite,
Yamaha and
Onkyo. I've heard that Onkyo is generally overpriced in Canada, so maybe throw them out of the equation. That leaves you with 3 brands to concentrate on.
I'm not a fan of Sony's receivers (value and reliability). Harman/Kardon generally offers less features for the price compared to the above group, would be okay too. With Marantz and other higher-end components you're mostly paying a premium for build quality and the name on the box.
