If it helps here is a diagram of my room, as you can tell I am using my bedroom as a HT http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/7/web/439000-439999/439698_55.jpg
Also for about the receiver, I currently have a cheap Sony receiver but when or before I get my new speakers I plan on buying a $500 receiver from either Onkyo, Denon, or H&K.
