Dude, this is easy.
Buy all from A'gon:
B&W 805S (~$1,800)
Emotiva XPA-5 ($799)
Marantz SR8001 (~$500) This is an older received I'm using as a processor and it works beautifully for everything I've thrown at it to date.
B&W CMC ~$400
B&W 686 for surrounds ~$600
That will put you at about $4k and you can spend the rest on wires and shipping.
I like staying with the well-known brands (i.e. B&W, Dynaudio, PMC, etc)because they tend to hold their value well enough for you to sell later if the upgrade bug comes around. Stay away from speaker brands you've never heard of.
