Suggestions for Home Theatre

I am looking to either buy or build my home theatre system. I have had
a few different systems over the past years. I want a system that is
great for playing music LOUD (party style loud) as well keeping nice
equal levels when its time to pop in a DVD. In addition to the request
of ability to handle music, I also want the DVD player to play DIVX.
Since I already have a standalone which does this, I am considering
going component.

Of the systems I have had over the past, only one ever came close to
the music playing ability that I wanted, I believe it was a Yamaha
DTX-CS800 (or very similar model). I was only leasing it, so I sent it
back.

I have a budget of about $550-600, not a lot, I know...but would like
some suggestions on some receivers and/or speaker packages tha would
give me a nice system for that money.

Thanks,
Nickolas
