OK so 2007 is drawing to a close and im looking to start doing my homework and saving for my 2008 purchase (i buy myself something new and nice every year..2006 laptop, 2007 new desktop) basicly i figure a budget of $500 - $2000 on a receiver will do good for what i want. This is a 10-20 year investment for me to be honest. But i need some help choosing a receiver and whatnot. i currently have
2 klipsch kg.5 bookshelf speakers (rms 50w peak 200),

and a
klipsch kv-3 center(75w rms, 375w peak)

Id prefer a 5.1 channel receiver but i can live with a 7.1 channel, i will be purchasing 2 floor standing speakers, and a sub which will make it so i have 5.1 setup. (will add the other 2 channels later when i get to that). but anyways all the speakers will be klipsch. i have a liking for yamaha receivers but im open to suggestions (dont waste my time suggesting low end/quality stuff). but this system will be used for a home theater setup hooked to my computer via spdif/optical. (will invest heavily into a sound card if i need too) but im sure someone is gonna call me crazy for this. in the end i hope to not spend more than $5000 on receiver, 4 speakers and a sub. (maybe i should of just went with a logitech z-5500 . o well this sounds better). but anyways thanks in advance
