Need feedback for 6k budget

It has been said that get the best center channel you can afford.... i read this in a few places but until recently i did not give it much weight....

the most important part in a home theater is the center! so focus on that one as your best speaker.

without getting into brands and all look into good used speakers you will get a better value for a higher end used speaker than a new one.. almost always.

electronics... i do not know what you are looking for in that area... Hdmi? 3d? you need to be more specific about your needs for that. depending on your speakers you could be getting a "receiver" that will he waste of money because it cannot drive the speakers and make them sound awful.

for example... i run a pioneer elite receiver...which is no slouch in the amp department. it worked great for my b&w book shelf speakers but it sounded like crap when i upgraded to the b&w 804S speakers... so i had to go with a separate amp type system...

effecentcy of a speaker is important.. look for something in the 90's.

without more information that is the only general guide lines i can give.

What ever brand and series of speakers you get keep the front 3..left center and right... the same brand and series.

There are a couple of speaker companys that go unoticed by the Agon members because they are not marketed as High End. They seem to be able to make 5.1 and 7.1 etrc systems for a lot less than we are used to seeing on this site. I can't recommend any of them having never heard them.
I strongly agree with Baranowski that you will get a much better value if you buy used. The problem is shipping where some of the better speakers are crated not just boxed and are a PITA to move around. So the second recommendation is to buy local if you possibly can . I know that there are virtual "audio deserts" around the country, If shipping is requiered then calculate frieght into your costs.
