Sony STR-DG510 Home Theater Receiver
and these book selfs to start it off
Sony SSB-1000 Book Shelf Speakers

then maybe later getting a nice sub or something. thoughts? this would be hooked up to the 37' Viso TV, 360, and an Ipod

Wow this is funny cause I was just actually wondering the same thing and it would be hooked up to a Vizio 37', 360, Ipod and computer for me. Looks like we have the same setup, they say great minds think alike .

Well beginning system is all up to the beholder on how much money you're willing to spend.

Over this weekend I purchased a 61inch samsung DLP 1080P ($962) and I purchased an Onkyo TXRS705(549 pre tax @ ABC Warehouse), Polk Audio Monitor 70's(front) 40's(back) CS1 center channel and a PSW100(cant have a lot of bass in my condo).

I would figure out your budget, but if I could recommend doing something that has 1080p upconversion and HDMI inputs. I just refreshed my 360 for the HDMI version, and if anything it reduces the component/optical clutter to just an HDMI cable.

Spend the money on the receiver, it will pay off and you can always upgrade to better speakers for slightly better experience, but going with a lower end receiver, you will miss out on a lot. I know I sure did
