[QUOTE="Tesla, post: 410802, member: 88010"] Fanta, Yes, that's what I was thinking ... a basic 5.1/6.1 amp like my 5 year old Panny Amp (without the HDMI and newer Blu-Ray class HD audio decoding to save some bucks). And yes, it will still play Blu-Ray fine. The Onkyo HT-S3100 is a nice find. Plenty of power for the included speakers (and even larger if you want to swap out a pair or 2 later). I would barely call it a HTiB ... not like others I have seen. It also has the Digital IN that he needs. For $100 more, you can get the HT-S3200 that includes HDMI (but lowers the power a bit). For his use, more power might be better (depends on what all he is hooking up). If only it had a line-level sub-woofer output. But, as long as you can control the sub-woofer volume separately, I guess it doesn't matter. I think most stand-alone subs still provide both line and high level anyway. Nothing to worry about DCWP ... just planning your Sub-Woofer upgrade (in a couple of years) for you :D [/QUOTE]
