Receivers for surround sound

[INTRIGUED]

I'm pretty happy with it so far, Just ended up doing the 7.1. I only have a 5.1 set up right now but its pretty easy to just pick up two extra speakers. Had to order up another HDMI cable though, Kinda nice this thing has 4 in and only 1 out though. Not sure what I'd even use the other ports for, PS3 has one and thats pretty much all I have right now. One nice thing about this model it just doesn't pass through the HDMI signal, It does both video and audio in just the HDMI cable. Apparently I would have to have a optical to do the audio with the model below this one.
