RE: eye-yeye-yeye

Budget is under $2000 maybe including TV.

Do you mind used?
There's a Yamaha RX-V795 receiver at videogon.com for $55 + shipping. It's cosmetically flawed (no picture though), but it has 6 preamp outputs for surround (L, R, C, RS, LS and LFE/.1).
(good, will check it out)

The receiver's speaker outputs could power your L/R Surround speakers (and Center speaker, should you want more than 4.1) and
(understand)

you could send the line level L/R channels to your current 2-channel setup.
(Yamaha line level outputs?)

It doesn't handle the newer audio codecs of Blu-ray (DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD), but those codecs have either DTS Surround and/or Dolby Digital for "backup" on the disc.
(how would this for instance integrate into an Oppo 93?)

Another thing: are the subs you have part of your 2-channel setup (subs feed the Mains) or are they separate? If they're part of your 2-channel setup, then you won't have an LFE/.1 channel unless you change this or add another sub.
(ok, now it's disconnected, due to wiring issue, but before it was using amp to speaker wire to usual powered sub, then speaker wire to L-R)

If it's easier, I will email you. I told you I am a dummy.
