Ideal Complete System for $5000

If you had $5000 for a system (5.1 Speakers, pre/pro/receiver, amplifier) that you would use for watching movies (60%) and enjoying music (40%), what will you get?
I like B&W and was all set to get 803S/HTM-3S, Velodyne and Rotel based system - but some other stuff has taken priority and will not be able to get something like that for another 4-5 yrs.
Until then what would be the best system you can set up for about 5K?

I like Robr45's suggestion for using powered speakers .

I believe that you will get better sound reproduction than using an A/V receiver or seperate pre/pro & amp , in that price range . Also , you will not have to worry about the synergy between the amp and speakers and can consentrate more on the quality of the signal processing and unit features .

The only real downside is speaker placement in relation to wall recepticles for power . And the I/C's for the back speakers might be tough to find , economically .

Good luck .
