AVR receivers
"Sound5":I like the Denon AVR-2807 and the Yamaha RX-V1700 (I happen to own a Yamaha RX-V1600 and I love the shit out of it) and maybe you should also look at the Marantz SR5001. Not sure about the Onkyo however.I would hunt down a "close-out" or ... 
Upgrade suggestions - from Rotel 1066 receiver
"Holly":Listen to the other A'Goners here, Keep the Rotel. It's that simple. Otherwise, I would suggest an Arcam 250 or 350, and they cost a hell of a lot more money.--Charles--

Surround Sound Recommendation
"Mattybumpkin":If your friend is ready to buy an all out home theater system for around $1,500.00 to $2,000.00, and if this is for a female, then I would go along with "Elevick" on the fact that the Receiver and the DVD Player must be from the sam...
