HT subwoofers
Another excellent choice for home theater or music is the discontinued Genesis 900 or the newer 928 (not as good as the older one). 
Which Solid State amp 2k used? Krell?
This maybe inappropriate but try the Aragon 8008bb. It provides very low and tight bass for my hungry Aerial 10t. 
1K speaker advice?
I was helping out a friend look for speakers in the 1k range. We audition everything from b&w, Thiels, definitive tech and the Paradigms. In my opinion, I find the Paridigm Monitor 9s to be a very good value. They retail new for less than $800...

Best and Worst customer service?
Meridian. Called them twice and each time I got a tech within 5 minutes. Answered all my technical questions and Great customer service. AA++ 
Talon Roc subs - worth it?
There was another rave review of the Talon Roc subwoofer and the Genesis 928 from www.perfectvision.com. 
Which sub is better for audio
Talon Roc, Hands down, this is the best sub you can buy. Put up against the RE1 and never bottomed out. 
Best Home Th Pre-Pro under 4K ish - used
Theta Casanova, highly dynamic, best bass management available, and fully upgradable. 
best 5 channel amp for home theater
Two of the best are Aragon 8008 series, EAD PowerMaster 2000 and the Theta Dreadnaught... 
Best HT speaker system
Go Talon Audio speakers. They are among the best. If money were no object, I'd get the Talon Khoruses for front and rears, the Peregrine for the center channel and two ROC subwoofers. MSRP about $40k
