What stores are you looking at?
What speakers have you heard before?

Given your budget, you have a LOT of options. That Yamaha receiver is nice, but you need to consider Denon, Harmon Kardon, Onkyo and Pioneer Elite as well.


The best thing you can do right now is go out with some of your favorite music(real CDs only no mp3s) and demo speakers. You need to find out what you do and don't like in your sound. Look up local audio shops(google maps or the yellowpages help here) and take a look around. They're gonna carry many different brands that you probably have never heard of.


How big of a room is this home theater? You want accurate measurements to help you figure out how powerful of a subwoofer you'll need


Are you doing a 5.1 or a 7.1 setup? For a 7.1 setup, you need at least 2-3' behind you and to your sides.


I need answers to all these questions...$3000 is a good budget and you should end up with a setup that will blow you away
