Thanks for the reply, doing the RP Towers x2 6000F's , center RP404C and bookshelves RP 500M's puts me at $2406 with no sub and $2656 w/sub which is well over my $1700 budget. Dont get me wrong i would love too start out with better quality plus i still have to buy a AVR.
Even doing the lowest RP with sub would put me at $1863 + $499 ( sony VSX-LX104 ) AVR is $2362 or $2662 ( sony vsx-lx304 $799 )
But i do respect your OP very much gives me some things to consider.
