help me to build...


I am building a stereo/multichannel music/concerts only dvd ...(really dont care about movies at home).
I have so far:
Pioneer Elite VSX-45TX.
Philips dvd963A.
Audioquest Diamondback interconnects.
Quad 11Ls(after going back and forth between 11Ls and floorstanders finally decided to go with 11Ls all channels including center)...
I can not afford much more, therefore need recommendations "best bang for the buck" type(but keeping in mind that needs to integrate to what I have, dont want to go cheap neither) for the following:
digital link receiver/dvd.
speaker cables.
speaker stands.
plasma vs. lcd for the monitor.
The more I read , more confusing becomes !
All opinions/suggestions are WELCOME, I know eventually will upgrade , but need to finish THIS SET yet...

Thanks for your time in advance

I second Kennyt's suggestion, for alot les than a plasma you can get a real nice DLP TV that is pretty thin. you cannot hang them from the walls, but you can get em about a foot deep, and you will not have to worry about burn-in and the black level is waaaayy darker on DLP than plasma, and have a bigger screen size. It does not have quite the Gee-wiz factor, but if you check out some of Samsung's DLPs you might be pretty satisified with the asthetics of them. They certainly dont look cheap.

If you have pre-outs on yer reciever you also might want to look at getting a multichannel amp. I used to be a big reciever fan, but after finally hearing a seperates setup it is hard to go back to a reciever.

To get more info, you might want to give us an idea of the budget yer looking at.
