Recommend a Cheap HT receiver and speakers.....

I haven't been around the Asylum for probably 5 years now due to work and family challenges. Now we are about to remodel a living room and I need a new HT receiver and a pair of bookshelf speakers, center channel, and a pair of on wall speakers for the rear. I've been out of it for so long I have no idea anymore what are decent cheap options. I'd like to stay under $1000 to $1200 for everything, and I'll add a subwoofer as more money becomes available.

I don't have a lot of requirements for this except I'll need a learning remote to also control my Sony 50' TV, and it would be nice if there was an optical digital input on the receiver, as we stream a lot of movies from a Mac Mini. What do you guys recommend? I don't want to buy used, but I'm certainly open to closeout gear.

Thanks in advance,
crazychile
