My suggestion would be to "start" with your front three and two subwoofers. Once this is up and running, add speakers and subwoofers as the budget allows. Other than not having more connections at the back of their AVR, nothing stops...

Never have understood where the fire is. Let the guy have his say and be done with it. I fail to see the controversy. Somewhere he'll find his middle ground and for him, it will be a valid position to take over that of one who thinks...

Thanks for the thought.
