If you like Consumers Reports--they rated the Onkyo sr-504(the 505 is an update) a "best buy" and superior to the Denon avr 1706 & 1707(big brothers to the 1507). Speakers are soooo subjective--I think my DCM time windows are the worlds best at the price I paid(although I use Bose as my surround and backround speakers around my house). As primary speakers, I think most audiophiles would prefer Polks. You simply have to do a lot of research--good luck.
