There isn't a lot of benefit to going with 5.1 for a primarily music setup, I'd recommend going with 2.1
There have been a few threads about this in the past, but generally for speakers you options are bookshelf speakers + amp vs. powered monitors.
When I made this decision a few months ago, I...
It depends, in some cases buying an amp first is a bad idea if it turns out it'll provide insufficient power given you needs. You'll want to know speaker sensitivity, listening distance, and desired maximum output to determine how much power you'll need.
Also, are you talking about purchasing a...

I was strongly considering getting A7s but then I snapped to my senses and realized I had set a budget of 500 max for speakers and the nearly 100% increase wouldn't be worth it. There are a few reviews out there, mainly on forums like head-fi and avsforums, where people have compared A5 vs A7. I...
I'm using Adam A5s for my computer setup right now, I've ordered a sub (eD A3S-250), just waiting on it to be built. I'm really happy with the A5 monitors, I was using a Klipsch Promedia 5.1 setup previously.
I'm guessing your priorities will be durability, simplicity, and volume (and less sound quality). My recommendation would be to look into active PA speakers. Conceivably, you could hook your system up using wireless transmitter/receivers, simplifying setup further..
I was in the same position a couple of years ago and I went with an HD650 + Little Dot amp (MK IV).
I got in on the 35% Bing CB for ebay when I bought my amp so I got a fantastic deal.
There are a lot of fans of LD over at head-fi, check out the reviews.
My Klipsch 5.1 Promedia set finally died after 6 years of near-constant use.
I upgraded to a pair of Adam A5s and an eD A3S-250, they should arrive soon.
A few questions to ask yourself:
What's your upper budget limit?
What are you using this for? % breakdown of HT/music/gaming

My townhouse was original a single family home, the other unit was built as an addition a few years ago. As a result, the dividing wall was built as an exterior wall and blocks out sound very well.

I'm pretty sure I know exactly what issue you are experiencing here. I had the same issue with a 5670 connecting to a Denon 1910.
The issue is best described here: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1224697&highlight=5xxx The ATI power saving feature downclocks the card normally...
The types of items that can be internationally shipped are pretty limited, its essentially just books. I'm guessing it has something to do with import laws. You'll need to find either a friend in Japan to facilitate or use a 3rd party importer.
