While they are good speakers, Infinity is known to tend toward the bright side. Therefore, you will need a more mellow sounding receiver to off set some of this brightness. I would recommend HK or Marantz in the price range you are looking at.
Both Yamaha and Denon are bright sounding receivers on their own...so when they are paired with a bright speaker, the resulting sound can be very harsh and almost shrill.
I went with the Infinity Primus 360 setup and when I tried the NAD T773 it sounded out of this world. I agree with Johnny, I wouldn't use a Denon or Yamaha with the Infinity's because of brightness.
Look to the warmer sound of say a Marantz or NAD, to match up with your Infinity's. They tend to be on the bright side, and will sound very nice with either of the above.
The H/K AVR 430 and 630 will match well with infinity alphas.

i have to agree with johnny and the rest of the people on this board. i to like yamaha but i think they are too bright. i would try the marantz sr-4400 for $399 as well as the onkyo tx-sr501 for $299 and the h/k avr 330 for $499. all are great receivers for those kinds of speakers!!
