Which came first, the chicken or the egg

Thanks for your responses. I don't want it to get personal, just some "friendly advise". But where to start???? Do I buy speakers first, and then try to match electronics to them, or visa versa? I'm thinking of the Talon Khorus X for the mains,maybe the Roc sub, is there a good match for center, sides and rears?
I was told the EAD TheaterMaster Signature 8 would be a better value than the Casablanca II for about half the money ? I'm all over the place on a DVD/CD transport. How much do you have to spend to get a realy good one without getting crazy? And what model, definitly want progressive scan and jitter reduction built in. PLAY NICE BOYS! thanks

whatjd you need to go to :" get a life.com." Yes I have ordered and paid for some equipment, but after reading and asking for advice, aren't I allowed to ask other people's opinion, and then "change my mind"????? What a concept!!!!
Have you ever changed your mind? Or even thought about it? You're probably too busy criticizing everyone else.
You haven't been "had", I don't have time for games. I just wanted some good advice from people that have travelled the road ahead of me. So if you don't have anything constructive to add to this post, go bug somebody else.

Now for the few who are still interested, the room size is aprox. 14wx23dx8h (whatjd will probably take exception to this too). For the "purist" I now know that it's not possible to mix 2 channel with home theater. And I do apologize for suggesting something so stupid. But I'm not trying for perfection,( and if I was, I know now not to post a thread on this site,-- did you catch that one to whatjd). I wanted to get help putting together a mid- hi butt kickin home theater($50k max. not counting room prep or HDTV)maybe with components that whatjd was thowing away (let me know where you live). And in the process have a 2 channel system that would annoy the dog.
I started out looking at B&K stuff with Martin Logans and a JVC transport, then I listened to some Class A Krell stuff with B&Ws. And after reading some reviews, and talking to a few dealers,(most having different opinions) I learned two things, 1. there are alot of unimformed people out there, and second, there are alot of liars too.
But I did like the sound from class A amps. enough to want to upgrade my system to the next level, none of which is readily available near me. So I posted a thread hoping that a few knowledgeable people would share their wisdom with me.
I had already committed to a Pioneer PRO710 HDTV, and was wraping up the purchase on some JMLabs Utopia: Mezzo's, center, mini's and sides along with a Stadium III sub, when I decided to post a thread to see if I could get a consensus of opinion of what to buy.
Now whatjd, just in case you see some of the above mentioned stuff for sale on Audiogon, I spent a good deal of time talking to a dealer that recommended it, agreed to buy it and if I change my mind after listening to responses to this post, I hope it doesn't violate any of your unwritten rules. He earned the sale.
As for jthunders and most of the other people that posted helpful responses....... THANK YOU.
For the rest of you axe grinders go to "owhatagooseiam.com. Start your on bitch session there.

Thanks Jthunders,I read some of his other posts and he's not worth wasting a reply on. But maybe Audiogon should think about changing their name to say....Snake pit or.... Hen house so "newbies" could avoid wasting any time.
Could someone please post the rules of engagement. I guess its ok to take a cheap shot as long as you follow it up with "if I'm wrong (but I've never been wrong in my life) I'm sorry.
Do you miserably little whiners hold hands when your not writing stupid posts, that have nothing to do with the questions? And... oh..... if I'm wrong, I'm sorry.
