I agree with Kal, having gone through this. I then picked up an Integra 9.8 processor (HDMI ins and outs) to go with my Sony blue-ray player. With 5 speakers and after some initial configuration issues, I've gotten much better sound than I would have thought possible for movies - literally just like at the movies (but no bathroom or snackbar lines!).
In other words, there is amazing hidden audio capability with these new formats that can be pretty easily tapped with a little guidance. Good luck.
