So I've had this TV: Philips 47PFL7422D/37 for a month and a half. I've got an XBOX 360, HD cable box, and a HD-A3 hooked up at the moment. The speakers on this set are pretty lacking, especially when watching an action movie.
Originally, I was going to pick up an Onkyo HT-SR800 HTIB. My living room is fairly small and I live in an apartment, so I can't have a very loud system. However, one feature that I really want is audio over HDMI. This, unfortunately, is a high midrange to high end feature.
So, recommend me some future-proof options to replace the SR800. I'm not sure what kind of budget I have, it really depends. I've been browsing AVSforum and google for a while, but I'm really stuck here.
I'd like a receiver that processes all the new audio formats over HDMI, with 2-3 HDMI inputs. Bonus points for component to HDMI conversion.
I'd like to get at least my two fronts with the receiver. Recommend some visually appealing and easy to match speakers. Bonus points if you find stands that will work. If they're cheap enough, I may even be able to pick up a sub and maybe even a center.
I know this is vague, but this is my first foray into HT audio. Post any clarifications or questions for me, and I'll answer quickly.
Thanks for your help!
