I'm looking for a home theatre with 4 tall speakers. Which of the following is the best? I'm leaning towards the Pioneer which has the DVD player separate so i can upgrade to a HD-DVD capable one later on. Couldn't find any reviews on it.

Pioneer HTP-55HD-FS
$399.99

Samsung HT-TQ85T
$699.99 (not on sale right now)

Harman/Kardon HS100
$499.99

Sony DAVFX900 wireless
$599.99

Sony STRDG500S & Q-Theatre II package (no DVD player)
$349.99

I have the Pioneer package, and am VERY pleased with it. It took me a while to get the settings to where it can really sound terrific, but I can't imagine having anything else.
By the way, that price is just for boxing week, then it goes back up to $700, so I would grab it now, if I were you!
