All receivers considered except Denon given their anti-competitive ways.

Price range is from £300 to £650, it is a must that it does audio via HDMI (I've only put HDMI cables in for the DVD recorder and Sky HD box) and that it is a known performer. Any suggestions?

The Sony 1200ES would have been ideal but as said it apparently doesn't do multi-channel audio over HDMI and the 3200ES seems to be non-existant (I haven't seen any professional reviews of it) and it's availability appears limited on the web.
Why dont u buy from online retailer and get it shipped to Scotland ? I have the 3200ES and the sound is nothing short of breathtaking so dont make any rash decisions
