Morel,Kef are smal;l and cheap (3500 is $1500 and ther eis a etep up get's good reviews at Cnet).If real cehcp is desired get JBL or Inifintiy at thier ebay web site.But items mentioned above (Paradigm,Totem,Definitive all good).I spend a lot on 2 cheannel and am hard o please but HT seems ok if you spend $1500-$2K.For two chennel I'd multipley that times ten.I say render untoi Cesra etc.Get small HT set up and even if placed within same rack keep systems seperate.To get double duty system is expensive and I think compromises both unless you go with very hig end gear like Mac,Krell,Meridian,etc.But I tilt toward music and want more from it.Look at subs.Ones for muisc that are fast and pitch accurate for muisc and not the "Boom in The room type" for HT.Unless you get to say a all Revel where sub alone will cost $3K.hey if you can afford it find.othewise you can get pretty impressive HT HTIB sts ups for cheap.Shop smart and you might start with say your stereo and than add componets that include 5.1 p[rsocessor reasonable priced three chennel for rears and center etc.But no HT reciever for $3K Plus is going to give you two 2 channel sound for the way a dedicated amp and pre get's you.If attempted it depends on smart shopping and compromises some which you may want to make others you might not want to.
