need advice

I am planning to set up a home theater system in my basement (30x18 feet). I know that I will have a 42 inch plasma tv. however,I would like also to listen to music there.
I called a salesman from an audio store and he suggested to have in wall speakers and a preamp, amp cd/dvd (the preamp, amp, and cd/dvd will be hidden in a small room to keep the look clean) . I liked the idea but then he came up with an exuberant price. I need some advice in regard to components, I am willing to invest around 5-6000$ for these items. I would like to have a system that the music would be warm and embracing. i listen to jazz and classical music. Needless to say that my kids will care more about the plasma tv than the musical attributes of this system. However, the sound for the tv programs should be also impressive.
thank you so very much for any advice

hello guys
thank you so very much for your advice. The price I quoted does not include the plasma Tv.

I am open to the idea of small speakers that can be placed or hung near the TV screen. I am open to the idea of having a 2 way channel or other system Please be more specific and provide me with some info in regard to specific components (pre/amp, cd/dvd and other accessories I need).

I am willing to buy used equipment since this will give me an opportunity to get better equipment.

In the last "Home Theater" there was a review about 8 in wall speakers. I am not sure if anybody had read it. i assume that independent of the reviewer critic the concensus is that in wall speakers are bad.

I am new to this forum but I am trully grateful for all your advice.
Many thanks
Al
