Austin:You seem to have some good ideas, but try to understand that I am closer to novice than expert. Since I'm not looking to create the ultimate system, it would seem better if I kept things simple and straight forward. That said, I think I'll go with the 4802. I'm confident it'll be a good choice, and I'll be happy. But I appreciate your advice.
Thanks........Peter

Peter,
If you are a novice - STOP! Do not pass go - do not spend $2000 on a receiver that is at the same time both obsolete and over the top for your needs.I don't think twice about holding my tongue when I see a novice blowing $500 on their first foray into HT - they'll learn and half a grand's a reasonable price of admission.
But the kind of bucks you're talking about calls for a bit of guidance from someone who's been there. Please re-read my posts on this topic. Then, as you've started to do already, continue posting on the HT boards where you can get a much better grounding than on an audiophile board which necessarily caters to high-end audio (which HT is definitely NOT!). Research, discuss, and audition. Repeat until you gain the confidence to proceed.
The fewer preconceived notions you go into this process with, the better result you will come out of it with. The alternative is a great deal of wasted time and money with EXACTLY the same end result.
Best of luck and I hope you enjoy the journey.
Austin
