Ok, thanks guys :) I appreciate your time and advice I'll make a quick dash down to the hardware stores for a price comparison the wire. Everything else is on order. I'll post back when everything is in and up and running :)

I'll just be running the wires along the floor within the room. No in-wall installation. Will this do? http://www.amazon.com/Pyle-PSC1250-12-Gauge-Quality-Speaker/dp/B003ZX8N44/ Or this? http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10239&cs_id=1023901&p_id=2816&seq=1&format=2

I think I've only heard of about a third of all the manufacturers you listed. That's why I posted here--my head was already swimming :eek: Ok, I guess I'll go ahead and snap up the ML speakers, one of the Onkyo receivers, and the stands. Is there a particular gauge of bare speaker cable I should...

What would be the correct way to do it? [edit]: From the speaker set's manual: I'm assuming that's what you mean?

These stands look fairly universal: http://www.amazon.com/Pyle-PHSTD1-Adjustable-Theater-Speaker/dp/B0040ITOAA Would these work? Does that make these speakers a poor option? What brands do the folks here usually stick with?

How will I know what is compatible and what isn't? ML didn't appear to have any listed on their website. I am a fairly avid garage saler, so yes, I do like a good bargain. But like I said, I haven't had much luck with used electronics. I will certainly consider what you suggested--I just wanted...

Would a new Onkyo TX-NR616 work? I am a bit hesitant about used electronics online, as I have been burned in the past. If I get the ML set, what about two floor stands for the rear speakers? Is there something generic/universal that would work, or is there something more specific that would be...

Ok, makes sense. What speakers would you recommend? I was looking for something somewhat small in size.

I found a Denon AVR-1312 for $180. Would that be a better option? If the budget is limiting, would a HTiB be a better option? [edit]: I don't plan on watching any 3D movies, so I don't think that will be an issue. If you mean 3D audio, I can't say that I really have much that will take...

I had planned on HDMI to ensure HDCP compatibility.

The computer is the only source device. There is no cable box. Is a receiver even necessary in that case?

I was looking to spend up to $1000 on a 5.1 sound system. The room is about 13'x15'. The TV is an LG 55LK520. It accepts HDMI input and also has a TOSLINK ouput. Everything (music/movies/blu-ray/internet) is running from a computer with HDMI output. This HDMI output feeds both audio and video...
