Recommendation for HT w/Vandersteen 2Ce


I'm just getting started in setting up my HT. I've got a few decent components worth keeping + 10K to spend.

Here what I got (that I'm keeping):
Vandersteen 2Ce
MIT T4 bi-wire cables
Kimber / MIT interconnects
Cheap satellite rear speakers

Here are my planned purchases:
Vandersteen VCC (center chan)
Vandersteen 2W (Subwoofer)
Philips DVD50QAT (prog scan w/Faroudja chipset)
Pioneer Elite 720 HDTV

Heres what I need some help with (which brands/models):
Digital video interconnects
Power amp
Pre proc.

Should I go with a 5-chan amp or use multiple 2-channel amp? Other suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

My HT used to be all Vandersteen: 4 indentical 2ce's and VCC. The only drawback of the 2's are that they don't have a very big dynamic range. If you have volume up for all kinds of sounds and vocals at fun levels, explosions will always bottom out the voice coils. Also, I always felt the VCC was too "dull and boxy" sounding. You might try one at home before buying. The Revel Performa center channel is so much better. I sure wish I had your Pro720. I'm still using a Pro97 (not hd).
