Marantz, Denon, NAD, Onkyo All make well respected lines of electronics. There are many others, but you will find these often are the favorites
I have a fairly small room and am pretty sure that a 5.1 would suffice. I really think 7.1 would be overkill. I am purchasing a 46" LCD HDTV and would like a nice surround system to go with it. I am hoping to find something with HDMI. I was following River's advice to an earlier post but the receivers that were suggested were 7.1. I really don't have the room for that. I probably will follow up with the speaker package that was suggested though.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
