Is there a "good" stereo receiver or integrated amp around $200 range?

Minimum is a 2-channel amp or receiver for now.  More channels not forseen in near future.  Considering some Onkyos, TX-8555 and TX-8050 receivers specifically.  Both seem to have good amp sections and at least used can be found near $200.  Oh, the Onkyo TX-8050 is up closer to $300 but you can network it and listen also to Internet radio.  I plan on running my MacBook Pro through the amp/receiver so could get my Internet radio that way also.
 
Plan on driving a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 10.1 speakers.
 
Any ideas?  I would like to have as clean an amp section as I can get and I know the Onkyos offer their own version of a direct mode for better sound.
