wiring speakers to Amp and AVR?
He would need "Fronts-out" from the receiver. "Pre-outs" wouldn't even do this.--Being as it is a self contained rec.-I doubt he has these. However, who knows ;he might have 'em. 
Source for Shipping Boxes?
-- Ok, time for the resident cynic to chime in-- Shipping speakers, using UPS or Fedex etc. in the non-factory boxes is a recipe for shipping damage!! for sure!! Spend the money;have a moving co box them up and move them.-- Or just insist on selli... 
what is the best speaker cable?
I know this isn't what you wanted to hear.--- But your speakers are only running in first gear with your intergrated amp.You could spend thousands on wires--and that won't overcome how the speakers are being short-changed by the electronics.Same f...

Great Progessive Scan and Great CD Playback?
There is hardly a dvd player under a grand that will compete with the "good" cd-only players. My opinion is get one of each. --/-- or stay with the dvd/cd player,but you will be missing what the quality cd-only player brings to the table. 
Sony 34" 16:9 HD-1 Now Obsolete or Cult Classic?
Sorry about the girlfriend--she was a keeper--in that she kept the tv. Well; there are plenty more girls-- /-- and tvs to be had. I'm with Eddie on LARGE one eyed overhead projectors. To me, BIGGER is better. BTW, that set was one of my first glim...

Anyone heard Montana speakers?
Which one's dude?? I have the ESP's. Well-- their high sensitivity 92/--allows lower powered amps/ or all triode. Some speakers "demand" SS amps.-- No speaker is any better than whatever you use to drive it/-- Stereophile gave them a class A. 
Consistency with power cords?
