Answer
Everything is Equal.
Speakers
You want to try to stay with the same brand of speakers. Myself I love Boston Acoustics. You should go to several stored with your DVD's and listen to everything in your budget. go with what sounds best to you.
Power.
Amplification it's what actually makes your speakers work. You want to make sure that the RMS or constant power rating ins't to much for your speakers. Also make sure it has plenty of inputs for your system to grow and cover what you have now.
Cables. The wires that sent signals to where they need to go.
Don't skimp here, the bargin bin is something to avoid, but you don't have to buy a 100.00 3 ft optical cable either. Mon$ster makes good product, but you do not need the top of the line it's too expensive and is overrated, just go with something of good quality and construction.
Speaker Placement is a biggie, you want to make sure you get a good even placement, Put your powered sub in the corner.
DVD players. A next Gen Player is a great idea.
HD-DVD and Blu-ray both have there flaws and there peaks.
there are a few players that will do both. but they run about 1200.00 You can get a PS3 599.99 and an Elite 499.00 and the HD-DVD add on for the 360 170.00 I think for about the same price, and have both next gen video game systems.
Don't forget the couch, thats a big key also, thst where your going to be sitting anyways.
If I had to choose between Receiver or Speakers. Id go with the receiver because it's easer to get new speakers than it is to redo the receiver.

Does anyone have any suggestions for mounting speaker wire along a concrete ceiling and wall?

I live in a loft that has concrete walls and ceiling. I recently put up my home theater speakers and now am left with draping speaker wire. I was thinking about possibly tacking it up using a hot glue gun. Other than that I can't think of anything & I am not allowed to drill any type holes in the concrete. Anyone have any ideas or thoughts?
Answer
Poor wire management is always an issue and a cause of many problems down the road after the system is installed.
Take a look at these links for cable management ideas. Basically its a system of plastic channel or conduit that will hide and organize your cable runs.
