What are the best entry level (with decent sound) home theater sets without bluray but with wifi?

I think I've decided to get a system (instead of separate components) but I don't want a blu-ray player included. I want to be able to stream music, though. Are there any good systems that meet these requirements? I've done some research and have found: Yamaha YHT-597, Sony BDV-E780W, Panasonic SC-HTB550 & Samsung HT-6500W. Are any of these good?

Answer
The Yamaha is OK, the others are all solid crap.

There are better receivers in the $250 range, and I'd much rather buy a proper set of speakers made by a company that specialises in them, over speakers from any of the brands that you mention.

Shop around on Amazon and Newegg. Look at Pioneer, Yamaha and the like for receivers and Polk and Energy for speakers. You won't have to spend much more than you are already planning to, and you'll get much better sound for the money.

Any picture quality loss connecting via audio receiver?

I am going to be purchasing a Yamaha 5.1 surround sound system. I have a Blu-Ray player, Apple TV and cable box that will all connect to it. I understand these all connect to the receiver and then the receiver connects to the TV.

My question is this - is there any picture quality loss by going through the receiver?

Answer
The more connections you have the greater chance of signal loss, but to be honest you probably wouldn't notice it.
