My budget for speakers is 2500 total. I figure 500 for a sub, 1500 for center and fronts, and 50o for surrounds. Maybe more on frts and center and less on surround.

As for receivers, I have looked at the Marantz SR5002, or the Rotel RSX-1067. I would consider Denon, but several people I know seem to have had bad luck with the products.

The Rotel doesn't switch HDMI--which is fine since I can use my tv to switch and use the optical to the receiver.

Another option is Outlaw or Emotiva? Any good? I rellay don't want to spend more than $1000 for a receiver or $1500 for amp and preamp.
