Speaker recomendations please

HT Preamp-Processors w/ Balanced inputs & outputs
Proceed AVP2 and AVP have XLR inputs and outputs in the three main channels. I have used both and they are excellent. Gerry 
$6000 used:Revel Ultima Studio?
I just got a set of studio's to replace my F30's. Huge difference, not harsh at all! They are brand new and not even broken, but go listen to them.Gerry 
ADVICE Please: Best Processor under $3K?

$4000 to spend on a SS power amp - help me choose
The BAT VK-1000, VK-600 or VK-500 for about 2200. I have seen the VK-600 for 4200 but only 2 and they sold quickly. My VK-1000 made a clear difference over my proceed AMP 5. 
Best multi-channel pre-amp for music under $1000?
If you hunt a Proceed AVP can be found for just about 1000.00 and it is an excellent prepro.Gerry 
Classe CA-400 Vs. BAT VK500/1000, which is better?
I just hooked up a VK-1000 into my system. I have a HT and wanted to give my F30's more power than my AMP5 was putting out (125W). The VK-1000 was dead silent and the depth and staging where immediately noticeable. The VK-1000 runs hotter then AMP... 
Which is better- one 5 channel amp or 3 stereo?

First pre/pro and hopefully last

Best DVD Player $1000-$2000
I have the Samsung Pro 1000 HD and it is a huge improvment over my Panasonic56 I had before. The one question I have is about your HDTV, does it have a DVI input? If it does there are some new DVD players coming on the market in the next few month... 
Die-Hard Proceed Owners...
The Proceed web site is now gone. The HK web site does not have any information on Proceed or any links. If this is how HK is going to treat and support Proceed owners then we need to make sure that our fellow Audiogoners are aware how they are go... 
DVD player recomendations
Samsung Pro 1000HD, I have not seen a player that does a better job. Should be around 1000.00 if you can find one used.
