You should have a listen to the NAD T761 or T751. I have the T751, and it sounds amazing for the money. I'm not about to give up my stereo however.

Here's what I recommend: Connect the AV receiver upstream of your stereo system (ie run NAD front channel outputs into your stereo preamp). Set your stereo preamp at a repeatable setting (e.g. 12:00) to set your HT speaker levels.

You need a subwoofer for HT. Connect it to the NAD sub outputs so it doesn't degrade your stereo sound.

Best of both worlds. Scary good HT and your stereo system intact.

If you don't have a good stereo system, you'll enjoy music a lot less, and then you'll end up listening less. But then maybe that's what you want?
