Hello Jim,... we're thrilled you found us as well. Welcome to the Shack.
Looking forward to your post. I'll also agree with Sony, most of this discussion should go off to a specific forum. I will say I disagree with your thoughts on the audio side of things. I'd add up what you spent on everything else,...then double it and you will have a fair budget for the audio side of your HT. Also, a real good receiver is not a necessity,..... you'll enjoy your system much more if you have really, really good speakers and a so, so receiver.
Of course, those are just my opinions
