Sean has a good point. The Sony TA-E9000ES can be had for around $800.00 - $1000.00 price range used. I owned one for about 2 years. A great introduction to H/T totally upgradable(Current upgrade 2.01) with an unbelievable touch screen remote. A lot of bang for the buck.
Plan on spending another grand on a 5 channel amp(used of course). I used an adcom with excellent results.
