I have a Pioneer Elite 7.1 VSX 91 txh that I paid around 1000$ for. I think you can get it for around 700-800 now. It has HDMI 1.3 inputs and does Dolby Tru HD surround and the DTS Master Audio. You really need those three things for Blu Ray. I have a Polk RM 6880 surround speaker set that cost me about $1000 also but its on sale at Amazon for $700. I am very happy with this setup and its future proof enough. The subwoofer is a little weak, but I live in an apartment so that doesn't bother me. The center channel speaker is awesome for this price range. It is only a 5.1 speaker set, but I just used my old surround speakers for the very back surround pair. In the future I would like to get some nice front speakers and move the four sattelites to the surround positions.
