The AVR254 has plenty of headroom, pre-amp outs for expansion and 5.1 inputs as well as all the HD audio codecs.

DITTO! I was about to recommend the same package.

Good combo, the SONY shouldn't have trouble driving those Klipsch.

Check out my sig. It ran me about $625 (HK 254 refurb on ebay), just switch out the sub if it absolutely must be $550. I think its worth a little extra for a nicer sub though.

What was the break down of components . Also it doesn't have to be 550 but why not put something together that's as good if not better than an Onkyo 6200 system for less.
