If you don't find a good price they can be very overpriced, at least compared to the price in the US for the same one (and compared to Yamaha or other ones of the same level). But feature wise I think Onkyos are one of the best bang for the buck if you can get the right one.

I purchased my Onkyo 875 from these guys and was very happy with their service level. Though watch the Onkyos, my 875 has an input lag issue where the audio will actually lag the video even if the audio lag is set to zero, not sure if that's been resolved. EDIT: Seems there was a firmware update, hmm might have to try it.
I also own an SVS sub and it's very impressive, would highly recommed them:

Paradigm are a good choice for speakers. Check out Axiom as well.

You're not going to like hearing it, but 45'x25'x8' is 9000 cubic feet of air, that's HUGE. A properly sized sub for that size of room is going to be quite large, but that depends on how good a sound you want. I chose the one I did because my room is almost as big, 26'x35'x9'. Smaller subs will still sound good, but to get a true theatre experience with a sub you need to be able to create enough pressure in the room, and for a huge room that equals size and watts. My sub has literally had me wondering if something fell on my house, so I know it's the right size.
