Well, I've decided on the Yamaha RX-V663 for a receiver since its both in my price range and has all the features I'm looking for.

As for speakers, I've decided to get a package deal to make sure there is no sound variations between speakers. Now I just need to decide which ones. Use will be about 1/3 movies, 1/3 gaming, 1/3 music and I'm debating between bookselfs and towers in front.

And now for my biggest problem, the subwoofer. The room is carpeted so I'm leaning against downfiring subs. Now, problem 1 - Whats the sound difference between a forward facing sub with forward facing port and a forward facing sub with rear facing port? The sub will be placed in a corner of the room most likely. Problem 2 - Do I get one slightly more expensive 12" sub or 2 slightly less expensive 10" subs for a more even bass sound?
