@bigjohn: I will definitely check out last years receiver models. I've heard a lot of good things about the subs you've listed as well, so I guess I should check those out. I kind of liked having the sub come from the same company, and thus matching the m22's, but if the performance is going to be that much better I might as well go for an HSU/SVS.
@joshxfoo: I probably won't need those pre-outs anytime soon, and when/if I do need them I think around $400 is not too big of a loss when/if I go to upgrade the receiver. The Denon DVD-2200 sounds interesting, I'll check that out. I was planning to get wires+stands at the local Radio Shack to save a buck or two.
The Bose player was actually something that my Dad+Mom were thinking about getting because of it's small size and supposed phenomenal sound, I told them not to but I wanted to get some more opinions on it.
Thanks for the advice guys.
