Thanks for the advice....I almost forgot about the sub. I'll have to see how the funds department ends up as far as the AVR goes. If I can afford it (and the sub) I'd like the 3802, but if it is tight the 2802. I will stick with the 2800 DVD, I guess I was hoping to kill two birds with the 4800, but CD changers are cheap these days.

I had an interesting conversation about subs with the salesman...he suggested an M&K MX105II for a sub ($1000 - on sale for $750). He didn't seem to like the Klipsch subs at all. I haven't really seen any negative reports on the Klipsch ones, so I'm not sure how to take it. He mentioned that M&K has done subs a lot longer and their "push/pull" technology with two 12" woofers are much tighter, faster & cleaner. I don't know much about subs (except that I know I want one). Do you have any experience with the Klipsch subs? I don't figure that timbre matching, etc. is so important (if at all) when it comes to subs, so if the M&K's are that much better, I guess I would go with it (main drawback is price).

Hmmm, more decisions.....
