Wow, lots of input.
Kyle, all these people are hugely negligent and I wouldn't listen to any of them.
Namely, no one asked what types of music or movies you enjoy.
Movies are probably more telling:
If you like "Love, Actually..." and "The Notebook", go for Mains, Center, Surrounds and Sub.
Uhh, never heard of them; wonder what that says about me. A friend from work gave me a copy of Juno to watch and I thought it was fairly good.
If you like "T3" and "Ironman", go for Mains, Sub, Surrounds and Center.
Ahh, now you're talkin. My personal collection is heavy on things going BOOM.
If you like Multichannel music, go Mains, Surrounds, Center and Sub.
If you like Classical Music, go Mains, Sub, Surrounds and Center.
If you like Regina Spektor, ask CV. If you like Rush, ask JP.
Most of my music is two channel, background listening. I have an open floor plan and can listen is most of the house. Style wise is mostly acoustic (Damien Rice) or alternative (Cold Play, Snow Patrol, Nada Surf).
