Home Theater Choice Help

[miceli90210]

Hi everyone,

Totally new to the forum. I'm in need of some opinions on what to get as far as a home theater system. I know that everyone has their own setup

The room is about 18x24 ft. with 8 ft. from floor to ceiling.

There's a budget of around $2000-3000 dollars. We're in need of a Receiver, Speakers and a Blu-Ray player of course. We have a TV that supports HD already (though will hopefully be replaced at a later date), so we'd like to focus on the rest at the moment.

I have heard/read some good things about Klipsh, Polk, Harman/Kardon, and Onkyo; and some not-so-good things about Bose, especially their prices.

Any help would be ideal and greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
