Getting my first sound system together. Opinions / Suggestions required!

Hi guys,

I am trying to put a new soundsystem together for my flat. I have never had a good soundsystem before. But have listened to good systems of my friends, and would like to have one as well.

My system is going to be used mainly for everything - watching movies, listening to radio, music etc.. I am aiming at a 5.1 system, as there is no room behind the sofa to but speakers there and create a 7.1 system.

Front speakers are 4metres away from the sofa, I am planning to use "wall mounted" speakers for the fronts.



Eventually I am thinking to fit the current equipment, what are your opinions or suggestions if there is better stuff around.

Front speakers 2x Bowers & Wilkins FPM4

Subwoofer No idea yet, thinking to get something from REL Acoustics?

Headunit Onkyo TX-SR876

End result should look something like this:



These are the suggestions and ideas I got from one other board, but would like to hear your opinions as well! :)
