Onkyo 606 and Polk 6750.....or you can waste a bunch of time and money wishing you would have gotten an Onkyo 606 and Polk 6750.

For the record, I don't own the Onkyo AVR or Polk Speakers....but I would if I was starting out.

You can, but it's HDMI passthrough, which means that HDMI won't carry your audio signal so you would have to buy an optical cable that only provides lossy audio.

If you really just want something cheap and easy then you don't need the Onkyo 606. I would still recommend you pick up a seperate receiver and speakers though as it will allow you to upgrade in the future much easier. (plus it will sound better than any HTiB)

Since you have a PS3 you should atleast get a receiver that accepts LPCM (so you can take advantage of the HD audio blu-ray has)

Receivers:
Marantz 4002
Sony STR-DG720
Sony STR-DH700

Speaker packages:

Energy Take Classic (pretty cheap on ebay)
Polk package (mentioned above)

I'm sure others will chime in, but do whats best for you.

get Energy 5.1 classic as your speaker, and Onyko 607, and Polk Front Tower speaker if you got budget left.
