If I was to get a setup with a PS3 and a Paradigm Atom Monitor System (made in Canada - sweet!), would I need a crazy receiver to get good results from a Blu-Ray disc with Dolby TrueHD sound? As I understand it, the PS3 will handle the decoding of the audio for me, so I should just need something nice to power the speakers. Is that accurate?

Regardless, what would you recommend for this type of setup (I only need the receiver to handle the PS3, though I'd love to be able to plug in my MBP and iPod somehow).

Thanks

Edit: I wonder if I'd be better off getting the Mini Monitors instead, without the sub. I'm not a bass junkie, anyway.

Edit #2: I'm looking at the Yamaha RX-V363 - any reason to not go with this one?

Do not be oppressed by the forces of ignorance and delusion! But rise up now with resolve and courage! Entranced by ignorance, from beginningless time until now, You have had more than enough time to sleep. So do not slumber any longer, but strive after virtue with body, speech, and mind!
