Request for advice on a good AV Receiver + Speaker Package around < 450

[ShaunFitzPat]

I am looking for my first Home theater system. My budget is around 450. My living room is 6' x 8' in which 42 " TV is placed at the corner. Some of the systems I saw which would stay within my budget were Pioneer VSX-921, Onkyo SKS528, Onkyo HTS 6405, Jamo A 102 HCS 6, Boston SOUNDWARE XS etc

What is the cheapest AV Receiver + Speaker system with the following features:
1. Standby Pass through
2. 3D pass-through
3. 1080p Video Up-scaling
3. ARC (Audio return channel)
4. Deep Color
5. Audyssey’s MultEQ / Any other Auto Calibration
6. >= 4 HDMI inputs
7. FM capability

Is there any website where I could search / Filter AV Receivers by feature?

Also any good UK retailer who would deliver to Ireland other than Amazon?

Appreciate any help

Pioneer HTP201 gets my vote
HTP-201 5.1 HDMI 3D AV Receiver + Speaker Package with HD Audio and Bluetooth ready - Pioneer Home Cinema System

Its about 400 quid

It meets your requirement.

Personally I would not be too bothered with 1080p upscaling TBH. Your TV has a much better upscaler in it than any amp

I dont think the Pioneer HTP201 has standby passthrough, eventhough I like the other specs.

I like to go for Denon AVR 1912 AV receiver (http://www.denon.co.uk/uk/Product/P...meTheatre&SubId=AVReceivers&ProductId=AVR1912) my first Home Theatre system. Which is the best speaker that would got with this AV receiver which costs around 200?

Some of the ones i have in mind are
1. Tannoy SFX5.1
2. Jamo A102 HCS6
3. Canton Movie 125
4. Boston Acoustics Soundware XS
5. KEF KHT1005.2
6. Any other ones that you feel suits best with AVR-1912?
