Thanks for the suggestions guys.
This is where I am right now. Prices are from Amazon.
HDTV - Still up in the air. Samsung, LG and Vizio all have 47"-55" models in the running with good reviews. Prices will shuffle a lot in the next 3 months, so I'll take a loser look later.
AV Receiver: Yamaha RX-V475 5.1 ($399)
Speakers: Two Infinity Primus P153 and one Infinity Primus PC251 ($230 for the three)
Blue Ray Player: Sony BDP S5100 ($98)
That leaves about $773 for the HDTV.
Throw in another $100 for cables, etc. and we have what looks like a decent HT system for $1600.
The receiver, speakers and blue ray player all get top reviews from consumers and experts alike. The expensive cables will wait for a while. I think the separate speakers will perform better than any soundbar that I've read about.
Anyway, I have a couple of months before purchase, so everything is subject to change.
Thanks again!
