EDIT: Purchased the following setup
Polk Monitor 70s in the front
Polk Monitor CS2 center channel
Polk Monitor 30s in the rear
Premier Acoustic PA-150 subwoofer
Denon 1612
EDIT: Wife approved bigger budget (up to $1k), let me know where upgrades would be most valuable.
I'm putting together a home theater system for my basement. The TV is a 55" LG LED mounted in the corner of the room. The room is about 15' across and much deeper than where the system will reside (probably 30 ft long). I want to get tower speakers in the front.

and http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=300-629 this for a sub $135
Then probably a HT receiver that isn't the current model to get the most bang for my buck, like this :

I don't *need* fancy new features, mostly just HDMI switching, but if I can make it fit in the budget i'll go to a newer model.
I'm open to any suggestions, including spending more in one category and less in another.
