1) Choose a budget. Knowing what you can spend before you go shopping will help you narrow down your selection, and will also keep you from having a salesperson sell you something you don't want or need.
2) Go to a specialty retailer; not a big box store. Specialty retailers are more driven by their customers' needs rather than those of their vendors. They will listen to what you want and find the appropriate fit.
3) Don't assume you need lots of speakers or huge amplifiers to get good sound. Two channels done very well sounds better than 7 or more done pretty decently. The price differential between surround and stereo is astounding, and you can often find a stereo system that will blow away a similarly priced surround system.
4) Ask if you can take them home for a trial. Systems set up in shops or studios are tuned by professionals to sound their best. When they get into your home, they will sound different, especially if a professional doesn't set up your system for you.
5) Have a professional install your system. Make sure you're there to supervise. Pull out your favorite music and movies and listen to them to make sure they sound like you want them to. Set your system to match your tastes.
