Mark,

For a reciever you could take a look at the Onkyo TX-SR 503, it can be had for $199 refurbed . I have the 502 and find it is a very easy and straight forward unit to use.

I have the Onkyo with the Hsu Ventrioquist system. IMO it is a remarkable system for the money and size. The room it is in is a bit over 2000 sqaure feet opening into a hallway. I use it for H/T only, the dialog seems crisp and clear with no complaints of "what did he say". If you haven't done so yet you could read the reveiws of the system @ Hsu .
