The stuff you listed will be OK for awhile but I don't know if your going to be happy for very long. Meridian with thiels has spoiled you pretty bad. I started out with Sony ES stuff and a nice adcom amp. To this I added a small velodyne sub and five infinity speakers. That was my first home theatre system.
These days my system is comprised of five thiel speakers a fairly large Velodyne sub, Theta transport, Theta pre-amp two monster Classe amps, Mit shotgun cabling Balanced through the front, getting the picture?
Nothing wrong with something simple to start. But I think I know where you will end up two or three years from now (call it a hunch). If you love watching movies at home get ready for the next wave of spending. The local theatre can't compete with a high-end home theatre system. Trust me on that one:~)
