Okay, after some more reading/research, I think I should probably go the Denon/HK/Yamaha route, after seeing the names come up so very often throughout these boards! So, any thoughts/advice between (or outside of) these three, which seem to fit needs/price more than enough (and are all virtually the same price online):

- Yamaha RX-V1400
- Denon AVR-2803
- H/K AVR-430

Once again, thanks in advance for your help... hopefully soon I will be able to help out new(er) users!
