need advice can't make a decision

[Sir_loin]

Okay trying to decide on my first system, have narrowed it down a little but still could use some advice or suggestions. For the receiver I'm kind of torn between the Yamaha RX-V673 and the Onkyo TX-NR616. I'm pretty set on the front and center with the Infinity Primus P363 and PC351. Now for the rear I'm thinking either Klipsch Reference RS-41 II or the Polk Audio FXi A4. For the middle either the Bose 161 or Infinity Primus P163. And I have no idea on the sub looking for affordable "quality". Like I said new to home theater and will take suggestions I've just been going off of customer reviews and such.

First, can you tell us a little more? The size/layout of your room? The mix of music to movies you want to enjoy? Is it 50/50?

What kind of sound do you enjoy? How did you arrive at the brands and models you mentioned, because several of them have very different sounds?

Welcome to the forum...

I would scrap the entire list, lol..
Is there a specific reason you want the 616 avr?

Also check out the new Pioneer series 2 speakers, IMO they blow the Infinities away for less money..

As far as a sub, we will need some room dimensions.. And what is your actual budget..
Also are you set on 7.1 and will it work in your room, I find it wont work in a lot of rooms since the couch is against the rear wall.. Plus I think 5.1 sounds better... especially sine loosing the extra speakers gives more budget to the rest of the system..

Well I'm still looking for my own place so no dimensions yet, sorry, and actually I was leaning more towards the rxv673, because I like the mic setup feature, also would like airplay, and the scene feature, but like I said I'm up for suggestions I posted the first thread only after maybe 3 hours of research over two days then stumbled on this site so I figure try to get some advice. As far as budget don't really know 1500 or so, I basically don't want junk. As far as music to movie ratio, music30/movie70. I basically came to the speakers through what seemed to me the best quality for the price
