newbie to HT: Need help with speakers/blu ray

Hi, I am just venturing into Hometheater since buying my first home! I am thinking of buying the new Onkyo-SR607 receiver with its subwoofer. Since the area for the HT is relatively small, the local store recommended the Mirage nanosat 5.1 speakers. I will have to set this up in the living room with 8' ceiling, which is a long room (not wide) with living area, eat-in area and kitchen in a row. So the HT will be confined to the living room area. Not sure if my room set-up is ideal, but I have no choice there. Please let me know about these 5 small Mirage speakers and I wonder if there are better speakers out there which will not occupy tons of space. Right now, I am willing to spend what it takes to get a decent system since I always used to dream about one. The local store also recommended the Panasonic DMP-BD60K blu-ray player. So would appreciate your opinion on that too....Thanks!

The Onkyo 607, the speakers, and the Panasonic Blu-Ray are solid choices. Not sure what you mean by 'its subwoofer'. The 607 is just a receiver and does not include a sub. Now weather the small speakers will be adequate is something you will have to decide. IMO, you will not get the best sound from small sats in a big room.

For a the sub, I suggest you look at SVS (http://www.svsound.com/index.cfm). While you are there, check out thier speaker selection as well.

Sorry David. My mistake about the subwoofer. The subwoofer is actually the one that comes with the Mirage 5.1 system along with 5 satellite speakers. It does not have a dedicated central speaker, just 5 small speakers. I think I will go for slightly bigger/better speakers. I will check the website you mentioned in your reply. But does anybody else have any recommendations for speakers that go well with the Onkyo SR607 receiver. I do not mind spending some money in getting good quality speakers, since at the end of the day, the sound matters! Thanks..

Speakers should not be matched to a receiver, they should be matched to your ears. Find the ones that sound best to you.
