Best Used Integated 1400 for B&W CDM1NT's
I want to thank everybody for their input and help on this issue. After milling i tover and over in my head, I decided to stay towards the lower end of my budget since the friend who is buying my NAD is going to buy the next amp. I ended up buying... 
Simple, one-box solutions for HT-- Recomendations?
Buy a $99 dvd player...no frills & the pic will still be much better than vhs. Home Theater magazine recently had 3 seperate systems set up with a $1500, $3000 & $5000 budget. These included the T.V. sets, so you may be able to stay within...

Quality or lack there of is remembered long after the price is forgotten. Stick with 2 channel for home theater. I'm quite happy with mine and the bang for the buck is far greater. 
SVS or Velodyne
Which velodyne? I have the ct-100 matched to a pair of B&W cdm1nt's and I think it's a little boomy. I have seen nothing but good reviews on the SVS, and for the price it seems to be a good buy, but they are sooooo big. Alot of people are now ... 
Found a gold mine
If these people are truly "pack rats", then you'll have as much of a chance of getting the records as you would the old magazines or the old china. Value is not the important thing, packrats dont like to part with ANYTHING. I have found this out f... 
To turn off or not to turn off
I read somewhere that all electronics can benefit from being left on. The article (cant remember where but it was about 8 years ago) said that amplifiers will warm up quicker than a cd player so they recommended leaving the cd player on also. They... 
Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?
the high end boutique in San Luis Obispo turned me on to this in 1991. 20 bucks and yes...there actually is a difference 
Ear Candy: Most startling recordings.
Lots of Dead & Floyd can be ear candy. If you really want to stretch your system, get Don Dorseys Bachbusters put out by Telarc 
Cheap Stuff That Keeps Up?
I have had one for almost 15 years now that I have used 3 hours a day & it's still going strong. 
My system has just received the ultimate insult
I think audiofile 9 may have nailed it on the head...at least I liked the answer given...anyhow, dont worry about the perceived insult. The real insult is when your girlfriend/sister goes out to a department store and spends $1000+ on a rack syste... 
7.1 DTS/ES, DD/EX, DPLII Seperates OR Denon 4802
I hear Rotel is a good choice & right in your price range 
Most achingly-beautiful music
Grateful Dead: Terrapin Station 
Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts
Never got to see Zeppelin, Hendrix, The Who, Doors etc, but I think that of the bands I have seen, The Grateful Dead put on a show like no other band...or maybe it was the audience. If I could go back in time, Bob Marley would have been a good time 
Best speakers for 2000-USED
B&W nautilus 805's with a good sub...may end up being closer to 2500 but it will definitely hold it's value 
does anyone know of a listing of 7-channel dvd's?
from what the guy at the local mid to high end audio store says there are only 7 or so dvds that were originally recorded in the 7.1 sound...he couldnt remember all of them but 2 that he mentioned were Gladiator & Chicken Runhave funI cant wai...
