Just so you know how it ended up.....I took some expert advice and just ordered what I need.

I'm getting an Onkyo Receiver, which was on sale at Crutchfield. It's about 2 inches deeper than the bookshelf we're using, so we're going to either punch out the back of the bookshelf or let it stick out a tiny bit.

We got a Sony DVD Player (it was only $60, and it plays CDs and MP3 disks, so we're using it for audio only).

Our stereo station on the kitchen island is so close to our lounge area, we decided to forgo speakers in the "lounge." I'm getting Bose 161 for the kitchen island that I can use when I'm cooking, or we can crank them during a party for that side of the space.

We're doing Polk in-ceiling speakers, and I was persuaded to get a pair of them rather than one integrated speaker.

Since we only have two speaker pairs now, I don't need an amp, the receiver will do the work.

Thanks for the input....took me a while to get it all sorted out in my head.
