Hi Guys, this is my predicament.. I was going in for a standard setup Logitech Z5500 with a quad core HTPC connected to a projector.

Until i realized how many gadgets i have: PS3, Wii, HTPC and maybe a HD PVR later.

With a little research i discovered the best way to connect would be to get an amp and decent set of 2.1 floor standing speakers for now, i figure i can buy the subs etc later.

I have narrowed it down to:

1. Marantz SR 4001 AV receiver, 7 x 80W all including packaging and cables. HDMI input and 1 output. - R3000 (2nd hand)
2. JAMO Speaker System Black S416HCS+SUB 200 (R6000 - Dionwired)

Questions:

- Are these components together any good for an aspiring audiophile?
- Will this amp support all the gadgets above?
- Will the amp handle video?
- The amp doesn't handle audio via the hdmi so how can i connect the sound to the ps3?
- Is the amp sufficiently powered for this speaker set?
- Should i go for a brand new Onkyo SR500 - (R4499) or Denon 1907 (R3999) or maybe something else?

If anyone has any advice or components for sale please let me know.

Please guys any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Regards
