Bob and Chip, those are some brands I haven't heard of, I'll check them out. Thanks!

Thomas, thanks for the link, I will check it out for sure!

I was going to use a Denon receiver, everywhere I have gone they seem to be big winners and the $ is right too. Some of those speaker brands I have never heard of so I will look into it. I tried going in the local Magnolia, but the two guys working seemed more interested in talking/joking around with each other so I gave up and left.

That is a healthy budget. Axiom makes some super nice on wall stuff. Devon is always solid. Agree on Magnolia. They are a joke.
