hi to all the Sifus out there,

currently, im looking for a AVR system for home theatre, could be complete set or maybe a AVR from yamaha/ denon / pioneer or whatever then seperate speaker sets.

im looking for a 5.1 channel system, looking to hook these stuffs on!

1. LG LCD
2. XBOX 360
3. home desktop PC
4. DVD player (Philips)
5. PS3 (dont have it yet, but soon in the near future)

all 1-4 already have HDMI cables.

basically! i only visited 3 shops for the AVR - CMY(Sunway), Acoustique Systems (Amcorp), Kota damansara AV.

My choices are:

1. Denon 1610
2. Denon 1910 (abit way of the budget, will have to cut down on my speaker system)
3. Yamaha RX-V465 + NS-SP280 Speakers set (sorry not very sure about the speaker set, but it really looks very basic and too simple, not sure worth or not)
4. Pioneer HTP -819SW (complete HT with speakers)
5. Pioneer HTP - RS70

Basically! i really dont know about all this stuffs, but i want all my gadgets to have one single source of audio output. i rarely just listen to music, but if i do its mostly R&B or hip hop. But do watch lots of movies, but sorry guys! its mostly the rm8 DVD type or the Downloaded from the WWW type.

i got the prices as follows:

1. denon 1610 - RM1800
2. denon 1910 - RM2600
3. Yamaha - RM2500
4. Pioneer 819 - RM3K ++
5. Pioneer 70 - RM2500

i heard lots of ppl say, spend on the speaker and not on the amps.... so my budget is basically RM3K max. which one should i really go for. i worry the pioneer's amp is not really as good if i were to upgrade to other speakers in future, such as Wharfadale, paradigm, mordaunt-short and etc.

so help me out! what should i do? also, if im buying the denon, i dont know what 5.1 channels to go for. basically i dont mind buying a better amp like 1910, then buy a cheap 5.1 speakers then later upgrade...

thanks....pleaase help...more suggestion are most appreciated.
