I'm likely going with the following Speakercraft setup and would appreciate any suggestions picking a receiver to match.
surrounds: AIM 7 MT THREE (in-wall)
fronts: same as surrounds or similar bookshelf version
center:  AIM LCR 3
sub: BASSX 10

Thanks much for the help.

budget?  5.1? 7.1?  I think this year's Onkyo & Yamaha models offer the most bang for the buck.

I'd like to keep it under $600, but I could go a little higher if needed.  It's for a 5.1 system.  I want to eventually get a blueray, so I believe it needs to decode HD audio?  I was looking at the Yamaha RX-V665.

For Yamaha line, you can go for their lower 465/565 models if you don't need things like satellite radio, zone 2, 7.1 vs. 5.1.  Also consider Onkyo 607/507.

HD audio decoding is not strictly necessary as it can be done within the BD player, but all these models will do it.
