I recently bought an Onkyo HT SR800. I absolutely love it. For a HTiB, it is probably the best you'll find.
Quote:
The good: Home theater in a box with component-grade 7.1-channel AV receiver; excellent connectivity compared to other HTIBs, including two HDMI inputs; three wall-mountable, two-way/three-driver speakers, four two-way satellites; 230-watt, 10-inch powered subwoofer; Audyssey 2EQ auto speaker calibration system; compatible with both XM and Sirius satellite radio subscription services.

After listening to mine, I know of at least two more people who went out and bought the exact same thing within a week. If you sign up to shoponkyo.com (you have to be signed in to view the best deals), they occasionally run specials on the unit from $299-349. That is for a refurbished one, but it will save you $200, and has the same warranty as new. Mine had absolutely no visible signs of being less than brand new.
PS - When it comes time to buy the cables you need to hook up your system, check out monoprice.com. I've found their prices are just INSANELY cheap, and cables are of extremely high quality.
