Follow Ups:
I would suggest listening to the speakers in question with several different types of music. If you like what you hear, they will do fine on movies. Midrange clarity is important. Personally, I am not a fan of either the JMlabs or B&W sound. They are well made and will handle lots of power, but I just don't like the sound.

Here is a system thats hard to beat for the $$. B&W 602 fronts, B&W 601 surrounds, LCR center. Those speakers can be found all used and are very hard to beat for the money. As far as preamp/amp- B&K REF30, B&K 5channel amp. I like B&K for the sound and connections, plus its very easy to use. I'd personally try to get a B&K REF 50 if you want the "new" formats dolby ex, dts es etc... There is a great system in your budget.

The B&W with B&K is a great system but good luck finding it for your budget of 4K. I would recommend a good quality receiver, Marantz, Integra, Denon, or Yamaha. Your choice they sound so close these days. Speakers- I would recommend the Monitor Audio Bronze or silver system. What Hi-Fi magazine just rated the bronze 2 the best, over b&w. I have the Monitor Gold running off a Marantz SR7300ose and they sound great. For a subwoofer, Velodyne CHT, for the money will give you the biggest boom for the buck. That package should leave you enough to get some decent speaker cables- AudioQuest or Kimber would be my recommendations
