subwoofer to digital music and movies
I sold REL when they first came into the US. They are still a wonderful product, but one of the most Overlooked subs on the market is Paradigm. Depending on budget, The Defiance X10 for $1k is a great value. It has Anthem Room Correction and an ap...

help decide what av receiver under $1k to choose
Less is more!!!  You’d be better off with a great 5.1 system getting a better performing receiver.  Get a good receiver that also does good stereo.  Anthem MRX520 with Paradigm Premier or possibly Prestige Speakers and one of their new Defiance Su...

Looking for speaker recommendations
Frankly I’m a bit surprised that you picked the B&W’s over the Paradigm Persona 3F’s?  They’re extremely revealing of everything in front of them so I’m curious what the associated equipment was that you heard them demoed with?  They have a mi... 
Does anyone have a good recommendation for the best quality home theater platform?
To Millercarbon272's comment:A great surround system is no different than a great stereo: they will reveal the differences in recording quality between movies you watch - no budget is the same for any two films when they are mixed, mastered, EQ'd,...
