Help me spend $5,000 on a 5.1 speaker system

Hi everyone,

I'm relatively new to high-end audio equipment, so please forgive me for not knowing what is good or not. I have $5,000 that I'm planning on spending for speakers in my living room. I recently bought a pioneer elite VSX-94 receiver and a pioneer elite dvd player. I have a 50" Sony LCD tv (although I may upgrade to a larger tv/projector next year. As for now, I want to get the best speaker system possible for "movies". Here is what I've found, please let me know if you have better suggestions!

Ufmatt00,

I use definitives in a 7.1 set up..Go for the BPX the powered surrounds are overkill..You could even go with the 7004's and use what you saved between that and the surrounds to add a SuperCubeII sub. You will still need it even with the built in subs in the speakers...
