I have the HSU VTF-2 sub. Fantastic! I don't know if you can find another powered sub of this caliber for anywhere near the price ($500 + tax and/or S/H). Again, speakers a personal preference, but I reiterate the previous comment; "Go for audio sound first". B&W 602 are outstanding, a friend who is a professional jazz muscician just picked up a pair after looking at several models. Paired with the matching center and 601s for the rear you would have a killer set up.
The only advise with regards to a DVD player is if you do not have a the ability to utilize a progressive signal, don't spend the money to get a progressive DVD player. I have the Sony 7700, no progressive but fantastic picture and it is built like a brick!
Best of luck in you search. Most importantly, enjoy the search as much as you will the final product. Putting a system together is almost more fun than using it!
