Audio and HT - Finding Balance

Long time lurker with a first time post.

The question of the day-month-year (and the one that I find myself very interested in at the moment) seems to be this:

(1) I've got a great audio system and now I'd like to add HT to the mix. What is the best way to keep my great audio set-up (and the flexibility that I've grown accustom to) and add HT? More specifically, if I add HT what is just ok, what is good, and what is great?

-or-

(2) I'm (re) building a system. I'm really interested in great music reproduction, but I would also like HT. Again - what is the best way to add HT? What is just ok, what is good, and what is great?

Two months ago I was in category 1. After a house fire, I now fall into category 2.

I've seen this question asked 100 time in many specific posts, but I'm looking for a general discussion.

Frankly, I'm lost. Thanks in advance.

Focus on two-channel first and foremost. Once satisfied, add a subwoofer and tv (Plasma, or front projection would be best to keep things clean). If your pre has two sets of main outs then one set can go to the sub and the other to the amp.

I believe that if you get the 2-channel right, then you'll enjoy your movies almost as much.
