I am buying a house, and I already have a HT system which is going to go into our theater, now I need one for my living room. The room is around 12'x18', and my budget is $1000. My biggest need is for the receiver to be slim, as there isn't much space for components and this is going to be a discrete system. Along those lines, a built in BD player is a big plus, as is wifi. The real system is upstairs which is a work in progress (have an Onkyo TX-SR806, need speakers and sub but that's another thread). Also, I would like front tower speakers, mainly to reduce the amount of speaker stands I have to buy.
Right now, my two front runners are:
Samsung HT-E6730 ($900)
The receiver is slim, it has a built in BD player, tower speakers, and Samsung's new vacuum tube speakers. It has 3D, but that is irrelevant to me.

Onkyo HT-S8409 ($650)
THX certified set, with a non slim receiver with no BD player. Tower speakers, and the price leaves room for expansion/BD player.

Any other options you guys recommend or a built system that fits my specs with my budget and is slim?
