I currently have:
Sony STR-DE545 receiver
Sony DVP-NC685V CD/DVD player
Boston Acoustics:
CR2 center channel
CR7 Front channel
CR5 Surround
PV500 Sub

I am looking for recommendations for a receiver upgrade. Don't want to change everything at once

500.00 max, do you think my speakers will be ok for a while? I know they are older but I thought with a newer receiver I could get by.

Pioneer 1014TX or Marantz SR5400/5500 would be my suggestions.

I agree with Landroval but would add the Pioneer Elite vsx52 from dynaco.com at $539. Great price on a very nice receiver. A coworker bought the Elite vsx59 from them and had a very good experience. Full warranty and very fast shipping. Any of the three are good matches with the BA's.

Thank you both for your input, I will research these and try to make a choice.

Some people may not agree with this but I have the same Boston Accoustics set up that you have and have recently purchused a Denon AVR 2805 and i absolutely love the combination, The sound is very very slightly on the bright side but extremely detailed, when compared to the Yammy I was previoulsy using
