Hi all.
I'm on the verge of buying myself an AV receiver (Denon 1909) and speakers (Tannoy SFX 5.1) to go with my PS3 & 42 Samsung TV. This package is in my 'annual bonus' budget, and I've read good things about both. These will replace my cambridge audio a5 & JPW speakers (bought when I were a student, 10 years ago

)
I don't really want to run cables around the side of the living at the moment so I'm wondering if I can get away with only hooking up the 2 front speakers, centre & sub for now. I only redecorated 6 months ago and I don't think my wife would be too happy if I pulled the carpet up again
I don't know much at all about home cinema setup though, so I'm wondering whether not using the rear speakers is a) possible and b) will be satisfactory. Any speaker advice anyone can give would be much appreciated.
If it is not going to work, or will the amp would be better off with just stereo speakers, I will stick with my JPWs for now and get the speakers when we eventually extend the house and I have a bigger room to put all 7.1 speakers in
