I would buy a used sub (Hsu vtf-2) or the Titanic kit from parts express and find 5 NHT Classic threes. I've seen used pairs for $400. A little more effort than going down to best buy but it would be an awesome system for around $1500.

Classic 3s are tailor made for theater. If you insist on a package deal, you may be interested in this. You'll have a few bucks left over for a nice sub and plenty of popcorn. On the subject of Magnolia, they seem to be carrying an interesting list of manufacturers.
