I wouldn't recommend using speaker cable connectors. I just run the bare wire to the speaker/receiver terminals and call it a day. IMO a direct connection is always best.
Audio from the DVD upconverter - surround sound would be passed via HDMI or through...
Whoa!!! DO NOT do this!! This is what causes clipping and you will destroy your speakers!!!
I was coming into the thread to post this (except for the Klipsch part)
When I was piecing together my system I had budget restrictions as well. My method was to pay for a really nice receiver...
