  I would recomend you still to go with receiver(check out Pioneer Elite,btw).
  You will be better with decent receiver and good speakers than with good separates and lesser speakers. And you can always upgrade to separates later.It will be easier to do than change speakers
  If you are planning to use this system for 2-ch. music as well I would recomend to check KEF speakers.
  I've been running KEF Reference 3's, C200 and Q50's with Pioneer Elite receiver and it sounded very good. Now I've upgraded to more expensive separates and they sound better than ever.
  It's only one option, but generally I would start from speakers.
  Good luck

  Hi,
  i have Golds, think they need 200 watts at a Minimum. 300 watts is more
  like it. As you might surmise, i like PSB speakers. But i would probably steer
  you to a company that had put more effort into the theater side of things.
  Don't worry, you don't have to sacrifice a thing. Read some mags, hit some stores, see (and hear) what you like. Oh yeah, spend some time learning about subs ( you are about to enter the brave new world of room resonance), get a really good sub and you don't really need monster speakers.
  Find a good dealer and develop a relationship with him. He can save you a lot of grief (and maybe some money).
