I agree with the questions above.
Without knowing the answers right off:
Speaker packages:
nOrh 4.0 package - $850
Ascend Acoustics CBM-170 package - $750
Other speakers to look at:
Paradigm
Def Tech
Energy
Swan Diva
NHT

My Paradigms (4 Titans and a CC-170) cost me $600. My Yamaha YST-SW500 cost $350 (though I'm considering a new sub).
Can't beat the sound for the price.

I'd take a look at the NHT SuperOne and the new NHT Super Audio series.

Gotta 2nd the nOrh 4.0 rec. Stunningly good for the $$. The enclosure material and the externally mounted tweeter make a huge difference in clarity and imaging. Plus, you just can't beat 5 identical speakers for an immersive experience.
