the 2400 is one of the more powerful/versatile receiver out there right now. the dang thing will almost wash your dishes for you..
as someone has already said, if money is an issue, you can actually drop down to a little cheaper receiver, to give you more cash on the top for speakers.
if budget isnt an issue, then go for the gusto.. and once you get all this set-up, you just might find yourself listening to more cd's than you ever had before.. its rather impressive to hear good music thru great speakers.
