Many thanks for the excellent suggestions. My two channel audio system has grown to be a monster with a retail price somewhere north of $ 50 000 (although other than the analog front end and subwoofer, I've baought all of it from my generous, restless friends in Audiogon :0)).
I purchase a PSB speaker system from Upscale Audio last night which I think will do the trick very nicely (4T towers, 8C center, 1B surrounds, SubSonic 6 sub). Kevin has gotten a few "factory blemished" speakers and his prices are VERY decent, considering the speakers are new and under full warranty.
So...the first step is taken!. I will look into the receviers you suggest. I have no particular bias towards any given brand. The ones I mentioned are ones I was vaguely aware of given my pretty much complete ignorance of Home Theater.
As for DVD players, the new Elite models are out, so the DVD 37 is going for abround $ 500 new on eBAy. Is this a reasonable price?
Thanks!
