Home theater advice?


I am about to purchase a new home theater. I am looking for advice on equipment selection. I am considering: Aerial 10T based surround setup, classe 180 mono's, classe ssp-30, classe cav-75 (bridged to three channels for center and surrounds), new classe dvd/cd, pioneer elite rear projection tv, and rca hdtv direct tv reciever. one of my hang-ups is stands. I want this to look as good as possible for the amount of money i am going to invest. Cables are still up in the air. Thanks for any suggestions.

Other products considered are: Theta, Revel, Meridian

My time will be split 50/50 between music and movies.

Excellent choice of speakers. I am running Aerial 10t's front, CC5 and SR3 with EAD Powermaster 2000 amp in conjunction with Meridian processors (565/562v just sold). They are awesome in home theater and excellent in two channel. I've gone through many home theater processors and liked the Meridians very much (Theta Casanova, Casablanca, DC-1, MC-1, Ead Encore, and the Meridians). As far as speaker cables, I've tried JPS Superconductor+ bi-wire, Transparent Music+ Bi-wire, and finally ended up with Analysis Plus Oval 9.
