New system for $1600

Hello , I am a first time poster to these forums.
I am looking to get a sound system to use for movies and music for around 1600. My space is not that large so I dont think I would like the look of tower speakers. I would prefer small footprint speakers like bookshelf speakers.

My plans so far:
Receiver: Yamaha RX-463 (5.1) - $300
Subwoofer: HSU STF-2 - $350
Speakers:
EMP EF30 Bookshelf Pair X 2 - $640
EMP EF30C Center - $190
Speaker stands X4 - $200
total: 1680

Dealer experiences

My dealer experiences over the last couple years:

1. The one who didn't seem interested in selling audio furniture to me - I walked in the door with my checkbook intending to purchase that day. The salesperson suggested it would be easier for me to just buy it off the internet somewhere else (so I did).
(no music playing in the store, just movies)

"Where do you want 'em?" Doug'n'David (of <I>Stereophile</I>'s shipping and receiving, not your favorite morning drive-time talk radio co-hosts) had just wrestled over 500 lbs of cocooned Wilson WITT loudspeakers onto the floor of my garage. Like the Thiel CS7s I had parted with just a few weeks earlier, the WITTs came packed in solid, heavy wooden crates. The pained expressions on Doug'n'David's faces indicated that it was time for me to start reviewing minimonitors! The unpacking went more smoothly than I expected, but this is clearly a pair of loudspeakers that demand to be delivered, uncrated, and set up by a dealer.
