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.

One other alternative I haven't seen mentioned is hte new Soundstage from Aragon. Nice piece with a 2-channel pass thru. Software and hardware upgradeable with a decent bass management system. I can't say its any nicer than the Classe cav-75 but its quite a bit less money and like Classe you cant go wrong with Aragon amps. Ariels love power and the Aragons can deliver. They look nice too.
