Hi All,

I want to setup a home theater system at my new home.

I don't wanna spend a lot of cash at once hence I wanna do it in phases.

Right now I am looking to buy a receiver and front speakers.

My primary use for the same in the order of importance would be:

Listing to music
Watching movies
Playing video games

I am looking to spend 1000-1500K initially and would upgrade to rear speakers in 2010.

Any suggestions on what equipment to buy would be greatly appreciated.

PS: Are floor standing features better than bookshelf speakers?
