I would go with Klipsch, Polk Audio, or even Sony speakers. They don't a have 7.1 speaker system on the market that I know of. They do have a handful of nice 5.1 systems and you could just go and buy to extra speakers. Personally I'd stay with 5.1 surround sound because there isn't much content in 7.1 channel surround sound. I'd go with a 5.1 for now and wait till 7.1 gets a lot more content, but that's just me. If your decide to go with 5.1 and are wiring your room for surround sound wire it for 7.1 as well for the future so when you do switch to 7.1 the wires well be up and you can just connect two more speaker calibrate the receiver and be done with it.
