Starting HT from scratch - 6k budget


Okay
I am starting a 5.1 HT setup from scratch. No cables,wires,etc. I believe that I want a new Pioneer plasma 65" zt60. Beyond that, I am not entirely sure where to go with amplification, source and speakers. I will probably wire the system with blue jean cables speaker wire and interconnects.

Speakers will be freestanding. I want a solid economical system that still very enjoyable for HT . this is HT so a decent sub is important to me - I am leaning toward rythmik subs. I have no idea what direction to go with the 5 channels, amplification or source. Bang for the buck is a must. new or used with preference going toward wicked new products or dependable used. Anyway - any input would be great

Thanks,
Brian

WHAT?! NO 120+ inch REAL home cinema image using a projection system an screen!???
Small image, small sound.. How about a nice sound bar to go with those dimensions?! That would keep everything nice and compact and tidy, both visually and soundwise!
Why get carried away with the extraneous. I always say
HOw big is the space, and long wall or short wall? How high is ceiling? What are acoustics like? (I wouldn't recommend open wide dispersing loud speakers on a short wall with flat surfaces surrounding, and so on). Is it strictly HT?
How many seating positions? (is it just you in a center seat?) Is it a home where noise doesn't matter, within?..or an upstairs appartment or condo, with walls that adjoin other neighbors?)What have you liked in the past/recently that you can reflect on? (everyone has different gear, and ends up so most every time)
Can't really recommend without knowing some more stuff bout ur deal. Thanks
