What do I need to choose ??? Help needed

It has been few months that I am looking for a Home theater system, and I cannot still decide what I need to buy. My budget is very limited ($2000)but I would like to upgrade or add other components later as I would have more money. Unless many people, I dont want to buy a Bose system even though it would be the easier solution. Can anyone would recommend me: 1) one receiver 2) and of course some speaker (front, rear, center and Sub) Please help to choose my system, I am totally lost with all the choice. I need advice for using this money wisely. Thanks,

Kenwood 3080 Receiver which has DD&DTS goto to ubid or ebay aprrox $400. It has pre outs so that you can add a better amp later (which is what I've done) Speakers : Energy Take5 approx $500 or step up to (4) B&W 601's and CC6 approx $1100. I'm sure many others will have advice but keep in mind putting together a decent budget system is pretty easy. When your tastes become "more refined" alot more care will have to be put into matching high dollar components.

Thanks you both for these advices!!!! Concerning the speakers, there are no doubt that B&K is the brand I need to choose. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to take the yamaha rv995x instead of a kenwood or onkyo??

Mega Dittos on both recommendations above. In the budget audiophile area, B&W speakers are hard to beat for the price and please almost everyone. I would lean towards the Onkyo Receiver for reliability reasons (Kenwood is OK) and resale later when you want to upgrade.
