I have always used yamaha as more core equipment, and JBL as my speakers. I am not a fan of satellite / wireless speakers they sound like utter crap.
My friend was going to buy a boss setup for 3.5k, which he thought was good listenign to blade, then i took him to a real shop, played the same movie and handed over his cash in 3 mintues for 1k more.
Also peoples ears are different, what sounds good to you , will sound differently to other people. Best bet is you take the same movie with you or a selection , so you can hear the difference.

For an Amp my rec. is the Onkyo TS-XR605 or if you can stretch a little more the Onkyo TS-XR705. both amps are some of the most fully featured Amps available today (yes more bang for buck than the Yammy's). both have upscaling from every connector type including composite to HDMI, HDMI passthrough. it will decode all the current audio formats including the new HD audio streams from BD discs.
