I'm new to audio here. I'm researching on what speakers to get with my Panasonic 50" TH50PX80. I'm going to be using a PS3 for blue-Ray. I haven't decided on a receiver yet but since speakers are the most important part I would like to start there. If you can suggest me a receiver also that will help me greatly.

Predicted usage: 50% movies/TV, 30% games, 20%music
Budget: $800-1000 speaker/sub, $300-500 receiver.
I would like to save as much money as possible since I would need some extra money for speaker wires and other equipment to set up my system.

Realistic budget for a 5.1 system $1500, but I might go for a 3.1 system if I need to and add speakers later on.
