Jbl3,
FWIW I would start buy building a top quality 2 channel system and then integrate your HT with it. Purchase a Pre Amp or integrated with a HT bypass. This allows for a connection from your AVP to the bypass input and uses just your amplifer to power the mains when watching movies.
As far as speakers you want them all voiced the same. So I would go with 5 speakers from the same manufacture. As far as mounting the center speaker on the ceiling. Alot of that depends on your injunity and a mounting bracket. The speaker should be angled toward the listening possition, other then that there should not be a problem. As for a sub as long as it is just for movies I would give Velodyne a listen.
I will not recomend components for a couple of reasons. 1 is I have not heard any of the gear you are looking at except for the SonusFaber. 2 only you can be the judge as to what sounds good to you. So get out there and listen, that is the fun part IMHO anyway.
I have my system set up this wa 2 CH integrated with HT and am very pleased with the results.
Good Luck with your search.
Michael
