Hey Josh784,

I agree with 2X6 in that a receiver will give you the best bang for your money. With a limited budget, going with a receiver allows you more flexibility to move up to a 5.1 set-up sooner than later. You'll already have the channels needed to drive a center and surround speakers once you have more money to add them. Once you get more money you could slowly upgrade to better components and speakers.
