2 channel home theatre


can anyone direct me to a forum on setting up a good 2.1 channel home theatre?
another ? i have is what processor should i get for under $1500 (if that's possible)

do i need to buy two other speakers for the HT or are the ones i've got good enough....

i used to have a B & K amp/pre with big klipsch and that system was crazy for the HT and the system i'm using now just doesnt have that same punch and it's probably due to me using my mcintosh pre as my processor...does any of this make sense?

this is my system:

thanks for the advice guys...i reason i ask the above ?'s is i'm a big movie guy and my system is geared mainly to 2 channel listening...take a look at my system...i have a piega sub that's about to go in the shop...thought maybe i'd persue a processor, maybe two other speakers designated for the HT...you get my drift...thanks again
also, not sure my preamp makes for a good processor...currently the movie sound is not quite as "theatrifcal" as my b & k processor and klipsch set up was...not sure if it's the pre or speakers or both...just asking
thanks for your thoughts everyone...i've good idea of the direction i'm going to go...the most joy i ever had was when i was running klipsch with 5 channel amp and processor...the center channel i remember had two 8" woofer and was so bad ass...i'm looking at getting 2 towers for the fronts with 6" woofers and a center with the same....i'll already have a great sub, so i'm good there...i'll run 3.1 with a receiver as the processor and amp...it will be very righteous...
i ended up buying the klipsch reference series 62 towers for the front and the rc 62 center channel...i bought the onkyo 807 which seems pretty good...this is going to be just fine for a HT and for when i want to rock...i have my two channel setup as well for just listening
