Save some money and look at used Linn speakers such as Kabers...set them up active if budget allows...a matching Linn Centrik speaker (also used; there might be a few left in the dealer network) is very nice.
A used digital processor....Sony ES, Onkyo, Pioneer Elite...and a good two channel preamp will work wonders...amp? That question was answered by many others but I use audio note tubes on the fronts and a parasound for the center and rears. I eventually will switch to a Linn center channel with an Aktiv crossover card with a Linn amplfier.
