I agree on the TV first. Have you considered something like RP? You get a lot of bang for the buck there so a 50" tv would not set you back much more than M80s. This is what I did. I upgraded the TV first because my son and I like to watch movies on the weekend. Mind you, I was using a 19" CRT so that was more of an upgrade.
I don't know what those Pioneer speakers sound like, but if you are 50/50 music/TV or more, I would go with the M80s first. They will have by far the biggest impact on music.
If the focus is more on movies and there are lots of people watching (bodies outside the sweet spot) then I would go for the center channel first.
If there are just two of you watching movies most of the time, I think you could get away with using your receiver and the M80s to create a phantom center.
Edit: Oh wait, you are using a 19" TV. TV first!! I picked up my Sony 50A2020 for $1,400 as they were being discontinued. Coulda picked it up for 1100 if I was willing to wait past Christmas.
