Okay, okay. I might ask more questions about wire-stripping and attachment as this goes on.
As soon as I get an answer to this question, I think I'll be able to make a decision.
1) For the 'Rears & Center', it appears as though I would be purchasing a full four speakers, while only having to use...
Option 1: (Towers - the better system overall)
Estimated costs:
Receiver (Onkyo HT-RC350 linked by Sam above): $110

Rears & Center: Sony SSB-1000 x2 $130
Media Streamer: WD TV Live $90
Subwoofer: Dayton 10" $99

Alright, I see what you guys are saying. Obviously a networked AVR is completely useless and expensive when I've already got 1) a television with built-in Wi-Fi and 2) might be getting a media box with complete streaming/network capabilities.
