I'm suprised no one has mentioned Yamaha receivers in this thread. I purchased a RX-V2500 about six months ago and love it. While it does not support HDMI the latest model does. I'm not sure how important that is anyway as I expect that I will have only one source that requires it. When HD-DVD and BLURAY finally GTST I will purchase a projector that is HDCP compliant and use the HDMI input for DVD's.
