You seem to indicate that music would be a priority in your listening.
I would like to suggest your considering the best 2-channel system you can obtain for the same money you would have otherwise spent on a surround sound system that would most likely be of significantly less sonic quality.
You may obtain a much higher degree of listening satisfaction with this alternative and will still enjoy the occassional movie just as much if not more than with a lesser surround system.
And you'll also spare yourself the clutter that a surround sound demands. i.e. additional speakers, cables, and amplifiers.
-IMO
