7.1 system suggestions for a two channel guy

I'm building a new home and am looking to go from a two channel system to a seven channel system. I went to my "audio guy's" showroom to hear what he had to offer. The sytems and speakers he showed me were loud and muddy. I tend to like more of an analog two channel sound but I want to try the seven channel in my new home for surround sound but don't want to sacrice quality for quantity.

My question is does anyone have ideas as to a unit/system that will provide a clear seven channel sound which meets modern demands at an affordable price. I going for "bang for my buck." Also I'm going from two channel towers to 7 channel in-walls so some suggestions on in-wall fronts would be nice also. Jamo?

I managed to get a 7.1 on closeout at a local dealer's garage sale several years ago. So i bought a Denon 4806 receiver, and Canton 300CD speakers (normally $1,00 each, got for $350 each x4 and Canton 360CD speakers (normally $750 each, for $200 each x 3) They are the cleanest, clearest speakers for multichannel i have heard.
With the Denon and a Furman wtih 'power factor the Denon/Canton combo is really good.
I especially love the clarity of the dialog with these. and the warmth in playing music.
As far as I'm concerned they are the speakers for the rest of my life in a multichannel setup.
