Cambridge Audio 540R V2 is only £150 at Richer Sounds if you get hold of the VIP voucher code (do a search on here) and is widely regarded to be a very accomplished receiver with music. How good it sounds with music, of course would depend on which speakers and source (CD player, DVD player, mp3) you use. A second hand Arcam might also worth a look.
