Entry Level Set-UP (Audio)

[raginranger]

Hello guys,

I have been a proud blu-ray owner for quite some time, but up to this point have been only benefiting from the fine video and have not had the pleasure of the great audio as well. I am considering getting a receiver and some speakers to jump into the audio fray. I have some limitations, pretty small apartment so 5.1 speakers is all I could have, def not 7.1. I've noticed though that most receivers now are 7.1 (at least the good ones which decode dts-hd ma). Also, I have a PS3. Here is what I'm looking at right now. Please rate it on the basis of its effectiveness for an entry level set-up and being a good transitional step into the blu audio world. thanks.

Oknyo receiver and Polk speakers. Both seem like good brands from what I hear on this site, and from reviews I read. I think total cost would be around 600-700 for this. Let me know your thoughts.
