Sony SS-F6000 Floor-Standing 4-Way Speakers with 6.5" Woofer (Pair) -

Energy Take Classic 5 Pack 5.0 Home Theater Speaker (Black) - Energy


Pioneer Elite VSX-03TXH - AV receiver - 7.1 channel
or VSX-1019AH-K

is about same price as the 9100thx.

Overall that's better, but you may want to substitute the Sony speakers for a pair of Energy tower's instead. For one the Sony speakers won't even begin to match the Energy center channel that comes with Take Classic, and another thing you'll find is that the Energy speakers sound completely different and much better than the Sony's. Try swapping out the Sony's for two of THESE and you will be much better off. Everything else looks good although you'll probably want to upgrade the center channel eventually. Both Pioneer receivers are better than the one in the Onkyo package even though that's a good receiver too. I'd go with the Elite myself.
