   The best thing is to hit the websites get opinions from real people. I would not go off and rant about my equipment since everyone hears something different.
   FInd gear in your price budget and find them in your local store. Hopefully this will give you an idea of what you you’re looking for.
   Hope the list I provided in the source section will help.

   Jefferson you already went $3,000 over budget you forgot the 50 inch LCD.

   Plus the two front speakers are suppose to be in ceiling speakers.

   And those $600 Denon DRA-697CI receivers are putting out way too much distortion.
   100 watts x 2 into 8 ohms (20-20,000 Hz) at 0.08% THD

   Now compare that to the $500 Yamaha RX-797 receiver.
   100 watts x 2 into 8 ohms (20-20,000 Hz) at 0.019% THD

   One fourth the distortion for 30% less money

   Home Theatre has become as American as popcorn at the movies.
   It is believed that the more expensive the ‘gear’ the better overall performance of the Theatre. To many people, retail dealers included, rely too much on the higher performance (higher cost) of the equipment to promote high end results, when lower cost (less performance) systems properly setup and calibrated to the environment can perform just as well. Whether your preference is for a Large Screen Rear Projection TV (RPTV), the latest in Flat Panel or Front Projection systems or even just a plain old tube TV a solution is there. A Home Theatre can be no more than adding a good, cost-effective surround sound system to the Family Room TV or to the ultimate high-end theme theatre that spares no expense – or somewhere in between

   For your center speaker.
