You push what you own on allmost every thread I suppose he should get and EMOTIVA amp as well??

To OP-Like allready stated, speaker/receiver watts is not that big of a deal. crazyBLUE is right, the 663 is nice for the money but there are A LOT of good choices out there and the 663 is not the best receiver available. The 606 from Onkyo is very nice, but if you can pick up a 805 still in the $500 range it's much better and the need for external amp goes way down (at least at first ). 140 watts is nothing to shake a fist at, it does all the HD audio, really the only negative is it only has 3 HDMI in's (but you can always add a switch). And correct me if I'm wrong, but the 663 only has 2 HDMI in's?? Thats poor by todays standards. I have 4 devices so far that use HDMI. My Sony HDTV has 3 even...

As far as speakers go, I would get a receiver first. A good receiver will be the heart of your system that everything routes through. Once you have that you can build around it.

EDIT WOW..the 805 is over $1000 now new???? that is crazy!!!!
