I do not mide doing the upgrades, so I guess a good receiver and cheap speakers to start, and Like I said I can upgrade as I get the money. Am I being realistic or am I off my rocker for that price?

As I said, IF you like POLK AUDIO, that's a good starting set for the price. But you'll prob. need a bit more (+$300 for a good receiver) that can decode audio so you get the Dobly Digital (DD) True-HD & DTS-HD MA Audio codecs. Plus you need a Bluray player right? You can prob. find a decent one for $200 or so, maybe a bit less. - Lol. We can ALWAYS Spend more given time. Don't worry: "Upgrade-itis" is a Terrible Disease that afflicts us ALL on this site.
