Marantz 8077 vs Anthem PVA7
The PVA7 is an outstanding multi channel amp that drives pretty much everything.

I’m setting up my 2.4’s with a SS2 and an Integrator. Ill post my impressions once it’s up and running 
High order crossovers
What it comes down to is that a well-design speaker can sound amazing... Thiel on one end and Joseph Audio on the other, both really dynamic and "alive"

You as well @ja 
In wall center channel with tower speakers for home theater
It’s absolutely crucial that the center matches the fronts. Stay with the same brand and spends a much as possible on the center. In HT, that speakers does the vast majority on the work, not a place to save money.

Need the collective IQ of the group to help me out... would it be better to get a single larger Thiel subwoofer (ex SS3/4) vs two smaller (SS1)? To augment CS2.4’s crossed over with an Integrator in a dedicated listening room 
Thiel CS2.4 to what?
@harrylavo, I think that's exactly what I'm going to do. I listened to a few other speakers during last week (some much more expensive than the Thiel's) and I was underwhelmed, just didn't have that "window into music" quality.The goal is to find ...

The PSA BHK250 is high on the list of amps to try. They're expensive though... Or I might just take a hammer to the piggy bank and spring for the BHK300's right away... there's something very special about mono blocks.I was toying with the idea of...

@tomthiel, not at all! This is what makes this forum so great, people sharing their experience and knowledge. I'm definitely leaning towards a pair of subwoofers.

I'm going to try to find a Thiel subwoofer, but here's the question... is it worth it to spend a bit more money and get two SS-1? Commonly I've found that stereo subs work much better for music, but Thiel is always different, so I figured I ask.Th... 
Magnepan 3.6 or 3.7
If you can stretch the budget ever so slightly, the 3.7's would be a much better buy. The Mye stands are definitely a big improvement. Also, the 3.7's are going to keep their value better if you ever decide to upgrade in the future.

@woots, I assume they’re not for sale though... :-) 
Thiel CS2.4 to what?
Thanks @sandydennis11 really appreciate it. I bought it. Figured that even if I don't find the Thiel subwoofer I want right now, it will make it easier when I do, plus I can use it already with my other subwoofer (and allowing me to roll off the C... 
Thiel CS2.4 to what?
@sandydennis11, The SS3 would be awesome, but you need the external crossover for it. Finding a PX02 set up for the 2.4's is darn near impossible. Otherwise, I agree, that sub would be close to idea.

@frozentundra, I've used ML331's, Krell KAV250's and a few other amps in years past and the Bel Canto did something special that the others simply couldn't, put the musicians right in the room with me. I'm not convinced it's the amp that's the iss...
