Entry Level Home Theater Challenge

[quest88]

Hey Bluray.com members. I am asking you guys to suggest an entry level HT for new members but like all challenges there are rules. The system in question needs to be at least a 5.1, have the ability to decode all new codecs and can be had for under 550 dollars minus wiring and blu ray player. Refurbs are more than welcome ! I know there are many of you who are awesome deal finders. I hope that all of us can have fun with this and the cheaper the better.

Please link stuff so others can see.

Lets see what happens.

RECAP:

1. At Minimum a 5.1 A/V Receiver that will do both DTS HD and TRUE HD Decoding ( New or Refurbished )
2. At Minimum 5.1 Speakers it doesn't matter if it's a whole package or pieced together ( New or Refurbished )
3. Links, links, links please.
4. List prices with equipment and total price of package
5. Wiring is not considered part of the price of the package
6. This is a entry level bare bones system, have fun with it.

Why the 550 dollar mark well many Onkyo HTiB can be had for a few bucks more so why not see if we can piece something together just as good if not better for cheaper.
