As of 9/5/2011:
All of the pieces were acquired with budget in mind, as "life changes" have put the pinch on my disposable income. The Onkyo was purchased used from a forum member, the Toshiba and LG were open box buys from Best Buy, and the BA's were a score from Craigslist - $150 for all five and nice metal stands for the surrounds.
Phase 2 will involve replacing the Bostons with DIY solutions and possibly a larger display. Might also take a shot at building a new equipment rack / TV stand.
