Newegg has the Pioneer VSX-822-K 5.1-Channel 3D Ready A/V Receiver for $300 with free shipping. Discounted price shown at final checkout. Features Airplay support, DLNA 1.5 certification, Dolby Pro Logic IIz decoding, Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration system, Audio Return Channel, and 400 watts of output power.
The new VSX-1022-K was going for $319 a couple of days ago. The 822 does seem to offer the best mix of features and value in the new model line, but I'd look for this for a bit less.
And in case anybody's still paying attention, The Egg has the VSX-1022-K for $299.99 this weekend, which leads me to the hopeful expectation that the 822 will be showing up in the $250-270 range sometime soon. For a review of the various features of the new Pioneer receivers see
