@simon,
There's a Bada 5ch integrated amp, just PM Matzter for the other details. It wont have the tuning features and remote functionality as a DSP-equipped AVR, but if you have a good source and the room isn't problematic to begin with, I'd stick with this. Not usre if it has more than one set of inputs, but if you use a good universal player, you can just use its internal DAC to decode signals, and then you can use the BADA for 2ch audio, SACD, DVD-A and DVD concerts. So if you lean towards audio with the capability to watch movies with surround effects, I'd get this and just save up for a realy good source. Maybe start with a Pioneer DV600, then upgrade to a Marantz later on.
