I am looking for a pair of bookshelf speakers, a powered subwoofer, and a receiver for use with my computer/headphones. However, when I move out of the dorms I would like to be able to upgrade the system to a 5.1 setup for use with my PS3/Cable/Television. Thus, I need a receiver with HDMI in (preferably 3 or more), HDMI out, HDMI passthrough, the ability to decode modern codecs, and optical in+out. My budget is around 500 dollars, and for the money I was looking at Polk Monitor40's, a 10-inch powered Polk sub, and a Yamaha RX-V371 on newegg for $499 total. I'm looking for advice on this combination of components' value, as well as suggestions of any equal or better components within my price range and needs, please.

Bought these on whim, for your basic train ride to work I don't mind. But its far from being the best I have own. -
First, I should note that I auditioned these both straight out of the box, without any break-in time and then later after 53 hours of break-in. Recent scientific studies have shown definite...
