I was planning on buying those Insignias from Best Buy because I can no longer get the Polk RTi4.

thoughts and suggestions?

If 2.0 is all your gonna do...I would recommend this:

I am not buying anything from ecost. They have awful service and extremely low retailer ratings.

I forgot that this will be receiving optical audio from my 360, something from my satellite radio, and optical from my PC.
So would this be better:

I've seen it's rather popular around here.

go with the Onkyo 505.

The 505 looks to be almost identical to the Onkyo receiver I have. The differences only seem to be that the 505 has HDMI inputs, and 2xCoax 2xOptical, whereas mine has no HDMI, and 1xCoax and 3xOptical.

I love the unit; it's never let me down and it sounds great. Based on that, I'd recommend the 505 for sure!

if you have a tweeter store nearby, they got some deals on recievers through their clearance sale. I picked up a pair of Polk Monitor 30 for $38 each today. Check the website for store inventory, the sales guy said the list online for each store is updated daily.
