Ok, I get iPod + iPeng is good.

Still, I understand such solution has to use WiFi, and I like to be able to listen to music without having to power up my home WAP. So, while WiFi controllers may certainly be future upgrade, I think I am still leaning towards the Classic. It is also a bit less expensive than the "receiver + anything else" option.

I am also thinking that I don't mind having a display underneath my TV set showing track info. iPod or Squeeze controller will not be so effective in doing so, I assume, even when docked...

I have to say that I do like the idea of being able to carry the controller (and so the iPod) around the house with headphones, but we won't use it much that way, and, I have Zune and iPod classic for that, should I want to...
