Denon AVR 2807 and Boston Acoustics VR2 Speakers?

Looking to buy the Denon AVR 2807 in a stereo mode for now and then expand to 7.1 later. How do they match with a pair of Boston Acoustics VR2 speakers? Does anyone think I can do better on the receiver and the speakers, at similar price points?

I bought the Denon 2807 back in January and looked at a few speaker packages as well. I listened to the BA VR2's, the B&W 602 series and the Definitive Technology Mythos line and wasn't really impressed by the Boston Acoustics at all. They just didn't have the dynamic range of the other 2 speakers I auditioned. The B&W and Definitive Tech's were better and I ended up with the Def Tech's b/c they were a better bargain and looked cooler too!
As far as the Denon 2807 goes you won't be disappointed at all. To quote the reviewer on www.cnet.com, "it outperforms other recievers costing twice as much". I've had it for a few months now and it really is incredible, the HDMI switching minimizes the amount of cables you need to run to the tv which is really important and the functionality of the remote is great, once you program it, it will control everything from your cable box to your dvd player in a very easy manner. You can never overlook the importance of a good remote!
