Dan, purchasing the Pio from BB might be the way to go. I dont know about that model JBL speaker package but most of the ones they carry are fairly good. If you only had to purchase one in store, go with the Pioneer receiver. It's a very nice unit and it performs well. We're using the 815 Pioneer on a in-wall 5.1 speaker setup using a 50" Philips plasma, LG dvd player, 8" JBL sub, and HomeTech inwall spkrs. It's not the loudest(those speakers aren't the world's greatest)but it's clear and does fairly well in the open space it's located.

How many speakers does this JBL package contain that you're considering? Have you given a look the new Yamaha 59XX series receivers coming in at BB?
