Hi all,I am looking for something that satisfies the following criteria:-5.1 speaker system and receiver-Has 3+ composite inputs, I have a lot of older video game systems and a record player (I have the phono preamp already)-Supports HDMI in/out and 1080p-Blueray and DVD player that is a separate piece-Must be a site that ships to Canada (lots of good deals on Denon receivers on Newegg but none of them ship here) and at an affordable rateThese might be nice but are not required:-Wifi connectivity to computers for playing music or video-Front composite input for playing ipods using a composite to 1/8" stereo adaptor-VGA inputThese are not needed by any means, though would be acceptable if packaging them in is somehow still cheaper:-3d support-7.1My space has room for small or large speakers and space is not a concern - front left, front right, back left, and back right can be big. Center should ideally not be gigantic and fit in an average TV stand shelf. Sub can be any size.I have the following that will be hooked up to it:-Video games (SEGA Genesis, SEGA Dreamcast, Nintendo Entertainment System, Original XBOX - not all need to be hooked up at once, but it'd be nice to get a few in there)-Record player and preamp-Potentially a CD player and/or cassette deck-Phillips 42" LCD with HDMI in or LG 42" LED with HDMI in (we have one and are getting the other soon for free, just gotta sort out which goes where in the house)I have browsed around and I'm not interested in the Onkyo pack because it seems to have a fairly high rate of failure. I am open to the idea of refurbished units, buying HTiBs, buying separate speaker packs and receiver and player and such, etc. I like the Denon receivers I've seen but don't know how to get a good deal here in Canada.I would be open to the idea of a HTiB as long as it has a dedicated receiver that has lots of inputs and does 5.1, HDMI, and 1080p. I do not have a DVD player other than my game consoles and I do not have a blueray player.Thanks! My fiancee and I just moved into a new place and I'd love to be able to listen on something other than crappy built in tv speakers.
