gonk, if I used the Onkyo pre/pro and the 7700 my PS3 would have BD duty.

XenonMan, Outlaw has the onkyo on their site right now, but its the 886 which is already discontinued. For another $250 I can get the 5507 from another vendor.

I was considering the Oppo 83se to get the better analog performance as this would be my 2 channel source too. I was thinking of using the analog outs on the Oppo into the outlaw so I could hear the HD audio tracks, etc. This is what I'd have to do, isn't it?

For all my sources, I guess I'd have to use an HDMI switcher, which I don't really want to do. This whole journey started with me wanting to get my video sources with my audio gear, out from under my TV and to simplify the wiring to have just one HDMI cable going to the TV. My gear is on a different wall and I want to wire the video out to the tv in wall. Right now the cable box, PS3, and Wii sit on a shelf just under the tv.
