Yup those speaker choices are great... I'd say dump onkyo/yamaha. Look for Denon or Marantz for receivers.zhopudey said:tribal, you you want a 5.1 system, then all speakers must be from the same series of the same company. Do not mix n match speakers.
While I haven't personally heard the Polks, the Monitor series hasn't got very good reviews. For you budget, you could be better off with Sonodyne/Wharfedale / Mission / Monitor Audio / Mordaunt Short / Dali.
Try Yamaha/Denon/Onkyo/Marantz for the AV reciever.
