Look for Onkyo 606, Yamaha 663, Pioneer (not sure the model on that). Those all will decode HD sound and probably pack enough power for you for now. When you upgrade your speakers, depending on when that is, you can add an external amplifier to get more juice if you'd like. For that, you'll need a receiver that has pre-outs and the 606 does not have them, you'd have to step up to the 706 to get them. The Yamaha does have them as well as being "dot 2" meaning it has two sub inputs rather than one, which is standard.
