Thanks. I plan on making the purchase this weekend 03.16.2008

I would highly recommend getting the Onkyo 705 at a minimum.

Why??? You see the speakers he's looking at..... and there's no way he's gonna upgrade the speakers before that Receiver is obsolete, or available for dirt cheap......

So if someone says "I got a Sony HTIB and my receiver died, what should I get" you'd say Onkyo 705 at a minimum??? It's just not necessary in my opinion. I'm happy with my Marantz, but I'd never recommend it to someone looking at the speakers he is...... he'd just waste money.
