At 7.1 your best bet might be to look into mixing/matching basically. Spend some time over on avsforum and get a good grip on what people are talking about and what price range you feel you want to spend. Setting a budget early is a big step, because it will show you where you can spend more and have to cut back on other items.

Also, and I hate saying this, but go to Best Buy and taking a few CDs of your best music and listen to some of their top end brands they carry. Setup a Denon reciever and probably two floor standing speakers and a sub and see how they sound. Get a feel for these and then start doing research online and how they compare to other brands. Also, many websites you can buy audio gear from will have a good 30 day trial period, which in the end can be the best thing. Drop the money, buy them and test them, if you are not happy then send them back. It can be a lot of work, but picking the right audio gear can be difficult.
