Here it is - my first system!
A big thanks to all the helpful members of the forum that aided in the decision process!
Still have to hang the surround speakers, calibrate it and manage the cable mess, but so far so good!
PS: Be sure to see my solution to avoid the height of the center channel covering the TV (it's the still packaged wall mount for the lcd, since I can't use it because the water pipes run on the wall behind the tv!).
