Suggestion for A/V receiver for under $300?

[jbannow]

Looking for a receiver for a second setup, and would like to spend under $300 for the A/V receiver. Anyone up to date on the quality of the latest models?

List of my actual needs:
1. Good sound quality and 5.1
2. HDMI - 1 out, at least 3 in
3. 3D - not currently implemented, but might be nice to support. This is optional though for me.

This will be driving a 1080p projector throwing a 92" image.

Seems like everything should support this, so what's the best sounding / easiest to use out of the cheap receivers out there?
