I am looking for 5.1 and brands dont matter a whole lot. I would take any of the top brands for ex. sony, pioneer, kenwood, panasonic. I dont have a HDTV where my speakers will be set up. I will only be using my 360 for optical and independent a/v switching could be very useful. Thanks for the info and now I have to find a system with all those components for a reasonable price. Its gonna be a long search.
The 360 is high on my list because thats all Ill be using with my home theatre system.
Keep your eyes peeled on dealnews.com - I see receiver deals there fairly regularly.
