Here's my "budget" home theater. Everything except the Rear Projection set and the Monoblocks were purchased across the net either from individuals, EBAY.com or UBID.com. I know the pieces all don't match perfectly but the sound field is quite pleasing in both theater and music only mode.
A buddy and I built the high current 80 Watt mono-blocks from kits back in 1974 and they still sound fantastic. I use the Yamaha as a HT preamp and it seems to work very well. The Mission center is not a perfect match for the Maggies (it does a decent job) but the Maggie center was too large and very expensive. The Sony set is an older model but still has a very competitive picture. Wifey added the plant........
