Ignore the chippy responses above and chalk them up to the fact that many who post here work in the industry and have a financial axe to grind. An audio dealer, as much as any other business person, has an obligation to earn your patronage. I would not waste time going to a "high-end" audio salon given that you are looking for HT gear and your stated budget, as you are likely only to encounter more of the attitude of entitlement displayed above and shabby treatment. What do you think has driven so many of these dealers out of business?
Regarding your initial query, I would say that A-Gon is not the place to look for such gear as 5.1 speaker packages seldom appear here and buying multiple sets of speakers in the same finish is problematic. I second Sdcampbell on the Mission suggestion and would also add the KEF Crestas as a low price yet decent sounding alternative. Buying from Audio Advisor gives piece of mind via their return guarantee, although at a price premium. If you know that you definitely want a specific package without the return option, you can generally find a lower price on Yahoo Shopping.
