Ohms (no, i'm not meditating, though maybe that would help)

Pondering a new strategy. Surround sound in our little livingroom is probably overkill anyway. But a receiver upgrade is still in order (our 17 year old Kenwood is still a fine component, but it's not designed to make sense of the way audio is mixed for a digital world).

So instead of the all-in-one solution, I can get a standalone receiver that will properly drive the current speakers, and a standalone blu-ray player for around the cost (if not less) of the all-in-one. Then, when we do move somewhere where a full 5.1 solution is more necessary, all we'll need to do is add a few speakers.
