Hi thereI am a relative newbie to putting together a basic home audio setup so please point out anything I mention below that doesn't make sense :)I am trying to find either an amp or an AV receiver to fit between my LG TV, a Raspberry Pi running XBMC and a set of Monitor Audio Radius 45 wall mounted speakers. Note I will also have 2 L/R speakers which I'm yet to source. I'm considering 2 setups:1. The Pi connects to the tele via HDMI which connects to a receiver/amp using an optical connection2. The Pi connects to the receiver which connects to the tele using HDMI the whole wayAs well as handling AV sound I'm hoping to find a receiver or Amp that has:1. A tuner built-in2. At least 4 speaker connections3. A small footprint ideally around 200 - 300mmSo far I've been alternating between a second hand AV receiver which would handle 1 + 2 but are mostly around 400mm vs a mini system which would handle 1 + 3 but normally has just 2 channels.Any suggestions on products that might fit what I'm after would be great. Maybe the closest I have found so far is the Marantz MCR603 which looks great but is a bit too rich for my budget.Thanks in advance for your comments!Justin
