I used a friend that has a Stereo Shop in MI for our setup.
We have a MTX Center and Sub. We have a lesser quality MTX Off Brand as the Front and Rear.
We then have an Onkyo Receiver.
All told, the money is in the Receiver, then the Center, followed by the Sub. The Fronts and Rears are about equal value.
Given our home's layout, I do not know if high end components would make it sound better....
