Hi turbanator,
Welcome! If you subscribe (highly recommended) please post photos. If I did things over again, I would focus on those front speakers and their amplification. As George mentioned, the other speakers and their amplification are lower priority. Your system can evolve over time as well. The MC 8207 allows you to not worry about amplification any more (Mac & SF are very nice together indeed), and you can upgrade other items over time. That's just my opinion to let you know where I'm coming from - I don't value HT as much as I used to, especially relative to stereo music. Part of that may be because I like my Amati Futuras so much...
Good luck!
