OK $1800-$2000 for speakers and receiver

What to do with that in this room size:

45Lx15Wx8H
Open space in rear of room
65in HDTV in front main sitting area about 18ft away.. rest of room is wasted space...

HKAVR630--Refurb.......600
YamaHTR5760............350
Martanz??
Other suggestions

SUBS
HSU or SVS.............600

Fronts: Floor or book?
Looking at Axioms/Ascends/JBL

Matching rears...

Also, going to go 5.1 for now but will upgrade to 6.1 in the near future...


Any suggestions would be awesome, have been researching forever and ready to buy...

Try these out.

Go for the CBM 170 all around with the HSU sub.

An excellent set, you should be able to get a deal for HK receivers with this company, too. Impeccable service and knowledgeable folks.

berny

will those be enough to fill the room? which HSU would fit this room size? i have been told to go with SVS but not sure here??

also, would it be worth the extra money to upgrade to 340, or would the 170 do me...

Novice here, need some expert advice....

Thanks Todd

It is always worth the extra money to upgrade:-), but that is just me. Unless you are planning on actually spacing the speakers through out the whole length of a 45 foot room then it would be advisable.
Choosing between HSU and SVS is a tough choice, it would come down to which one you want to spend money on, as they are both worth the price. And both are capable of filling your room.
