Marantz is also a good choice!

ahadi,
I agree that the decision between Pioneer and Sony is mainly personal preference. That being said, I will soon own both brands of receivers. I have been using a Sony DB 930 for a couple of years now and love everything about it except the remote. I just ordered a Pioneer VSXD850S Surround Sound Receiver from Onecall because I needed/wanted a second system in my house.
Similarly, I have a Pioneer DVD player and a Sony ES CD changer and I am happy with both.
Check out the Pioneer at Onecall. It on sale for $299 or ~$320 shipped (fedex 3 day). The URL is http://ww2.onecall.com/PID_11423.htm
WDEagle!
P.S. In my main system I am using a combination of vintage and newer Polk speakers. I auditioned them against such systems as the Energy Take 5 and Klipsch quintets. The polk sounded much better to both my wife and I. I plan on using Paradigm speakers with my second system due to space constraints.
