Thanks for the advice. If I could afford to make 2 systems I would. I've also heard the Denon AVR-3300 has had some troubles, mostly overheating. The Marantz SR-7000, or if I really wanna go all out, the SR-18 in champagne colour seems nice too, Audioman

I don't know the specific Marantz equipment you mentioned, though a lot of people on this board seem to like it. I've owned other Marantz equipment, and it seemed to be of pretty high quality.
I read the overheating stuff, too. My 3300 is driving 5 speakers with a sensitivity of about 90, so the receiver isn't taxed much for lots of sound. After a long session the unit does get warm, so proper ventilation is a necessary. In the year that I've had the receiver, it has never overheated, shut down, etc. It's been a solid citizen and sounded very good right out of the box. Color me "a satisfied customer".
