I agree with the advice to slow down. First of all, you have to decide if you want the same system to do music and movies. If you have the room it may make sense to separate them. After weighing our own priorities we ended up choosing a high quality stereo system in one room, and a less expensive home theater (HT) in another. We felt we did not need a "stereo-quality" HT, so it saved some money. It also allows one person to listen to music and another to watch news/movie if they are in different moods.
If you end up changing the same system to HT, then you will need an HT receiver and extra speakers which can be less expensive KEF models. Obviously, you will need a dvd player and also hook up your tv in order to watch movies.
