Thanks for the reply's guys, it is great to get some feedback. As far as my budget goes, I am looking to spend between 700-1000. What I wanted to do was get a solid 5.1 going with that money and then later look for a amp to take the load off the Kenwood and just use it as a source.

I am just starting to get into home theater and I am looking for a new speaker setup to get me started. But I currently have a pair of 4 ohm speakers hooked up (Cerwin Vega MX250) and some 8 ohm speakers from a Sherwood Dolby Surround Kit. I know that I want to replace it all with some...
