Im wondering if anybody out there has any personal experince with Yamaha's line of HTiB?

The model I'm interested in is the 791BL. Its the 7.1 system with the ipod dock but if you own any of there HTiB I would love to hear what you have to say ...good or bad...

Thanks, Jason

Jason, I've spent what feels like all afternoon researching HTiB, I seriously considered the Onkyo 5300 until I read all the 'issues' with it, the 3300 seems appealing, esp since I found it as cheap as 289 shipped and no tax from an amazon seller, but I want something more than a budget HTiB.

So in saying that, i've decided on the Yamaha YHT491BL, the floor standing front speakers appeal to me, its got good reviews, its right at $500, a lil out of my mid $450 price range, but in my $400-$500 HTiB budget, and finally, I think Yamaha makes good stuff, I owned a Yamaha HTiB from 2004 for 5 years and it never did me wrong, I'm pulling the trigger on this right now.

***edit*** after much research & contemplation, I decided to go the individual component route.
