RE: Am trying to assemble my AV system...

The Onkyo TX-NR717 is an excellent receiver, Onkyos and Integras are one of the best in their respective price ranges. You might also want to compare it to the TX-NR809, TX-NR616 and TX-NR709 on Onkyo's web site.

For the display I would suggest you look at one of these Panasonic plasmas and read the reviews. In this price range you'll get a better picture, black levels, contrast, response time, viewing angle, etc. Prices are retail, you should be able to find lower street prices.

TC-P50ST50 50", retail $1,400 <------ Best
TC-P50UT50 50", retail $1,099
TC-P55UT50 55", retail $1,399

The Sony BDP-S590 and the Panasonic DMP-BDT220 are both excellent Blu-ray players and both retail for $150.
