Hi all. Haven't been to this section of AVS in a while, but I dropped in to ask your opinions on a decent 5.1 audio system (receiver + speakers). They will be a Christmas gift for my brother, who is just getting into HT. He just got a Panny RPTV and bought himself a decent player (an RP82 I think), but he's a young guy starting out on his own and doesn't have the money left for the audio.
I've seen some packages at Circuit City and Best Buy from Yamaha, Onkyo, Sony, etc, but it's impossible to test the sound quality at those places, and the dedicated AV shops don't carry anything in that price range.
Can you all give a couple recommendations?
