This is the wish list i built so far:
http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=16934527
However, I'm not familiar with sound system; I think I need a good speakers set, receiver, amplifier. But i'm totally new to that. We also live in a small apartment and noise is a problem. Looking for good quality and clarity sound. I'm looking at this Logitech Z-5500. But it doesn't have amplifier ..etc...

Any suggestion? Sounds system budget is around $600
