NOOB question about new speakers and receiver HT

i'm new to the world of HT, and just purchased my first projector, Epson 8350. I am in the market for a good surround sound system, possibly going 7.1. Got a price of around a $1000 for this setup, Definitive technology 60.6 surround sound, and 2 definitive techs bp6b, with a Yamaha RX-V571BL 7.1-Channel AV Receiver, with 2 monster m1000hd 50ft hdmi cables. the HT is in my basement, which is about 23'W x 50'L, the projector is viewable from anywhere in the basement, so i want to be able to get the sound throughout the basement., wondering if this should do the trick. also wondering if the $1000 i am paying for the surround sound system i s a good deal?

Thanks in advance, any help, opinions, or recommendations are greatly appreciated

true, i had a panasonic HTIB and i filled the room pretty well, loud and clear, but wanted to go bigger, so this is what was suggested at the store. i don't want to wake the neighbors , just have a clear, nice sounding theater experience.
any suggestions you might have as to what kind of speakers or brands you might recommend ?

thanks again

sorry forgot to mention, budget is around $1000, give or take a couple hundred

i actually ended up getting the monster cable for $75 brand new from Pauls tv, best deal i've seen around, even though that is still high for hdmi cables, checked monoprice, and their high end cables are only about $10-$15 cheaper, compared to what im paying, and i'm hoping that the monster work better with the long length that i need

i had the panasonic sc-btt195 1000w 5.1, at about 3/4 volume my said she can hear it upstairs clearly when playing call of duty
it's a good system but lacks the hdmi inputs that i needed to have a complete HT experience without running multiple cables to my projector, but it was a foray into the unkown for me, so i've been learning from the forums, and talking to reps and various electronics stores, i'll stick right here with you thanks

it's actually all individual , so i can pick and choose what kind of speakers i want, they're giving me the the receiver open box for $199, which i can't pass up, but i can add or change any speakers i want

your the man, i really appreciate the help, thank you

another good thing is this store will price match anything i find online, which is a huge plus

im going through pauls tv, the cables are monster m1000hd 50ft length, what is a good price for something like that?

man the floor probably shakes in that room, my neighbors would call the cops on me , but it would be fun

actually thinking about it i miss judged the size, sorry about that, just looked at my floorplan, it's actually 19'W x 45'L

checked the bp8b's the newegg promo is good until the 31st, the guy told me they are actually a older model, unless he's pulling my leg, and trying to dump off the bp6's on me

i have everything else, i purchased 16 gauge wire from amazon, already have the wall plates for my hdmi's, and speaker connections, basically the only thing i need is good speakers to have that theater experience, the receiver that he's giving me seems pretty good for $199 price
