Poor College Graduate Needs HT

[MarEngineer]

Hey,

I have been browsing the forms for quite some time now and I think I have a good idea of what I am looking for. A little advice please?

-For: Apartment
-Room Size: About 15' x 13'
-Ideally smaller sized speakers
-5.1 System
-Budget for speakers, receiver, and T.V. 2000$
-Movies 70% and music 30%

What I am thinking:
Receiver: Denon AVR-591 350$
Subwoofer: Emotiva Ultra 10" 289$
14 AWG 100' & Connectors 30$
Speakers: SVSound SBS-02 5.0 system 580$
TV: 40" Samsung Model (Haven't Decided) 800-1000$

What I have:
-Blue Ray equipped home computer with 8 channel sound core i7 bla bla bla...

Any thoughts on my choices? This would come out to be just around 2k. Also, is LED LCD worth the extra money? Thanks for all the help!

-Justin

In addition is this too much for an apartment? I have good ears and I am not worried about volume, I care more about sound quality and surround sound effects. Perhaps a smaller system will be better for neighbors? Just a thought.

Why not build it in pieces? You can start with 2 speakers like the Behringer 2031p(excellent value). Add a TV and receivers and use your current speakers for surrounds.

I like the Denon receiver you got
http://www.amazon.com/Denon-AVR-591-Channel-Receiver-supporting/dp/B003H04Q8C is a little cheaper.

Behringer 2030p(pair great start for a system)

Audiosource PSW112(good deal)

For your display you can go with a projector(white wall and put it on a back shelf) or a TV.

The Epson 8100 is my pick for a good projector.

I took a look at the Behringers and I like them, but I would rather have 4 2030p's and a center speaker, rather than 5 2030p's. Are there any centers that will work with the Behringer's?
