I'm a big fan of the Onkyo HTIB systems, because if you ever want to upgrade yourspeakers, it's easy as pie, because you get a decent receiver in the box.
With an Onkyo system though, be prepared to purchase replacement 14 or 16 gauge speaker wire and use that instead. It comes with some real hilariously thin stuff.

Ditto on this.
They come with real receivers, and pretty good speakers to boot.
Onkyo HT-SR800 for the win.
I like it a lot. Bought it on the cheap off Amazon to boot.
Onkyo HTS5100...especially if you have a lot of peripherals that use HDMI cables(like your BD player).
