Combining home theater with two channel
Yup! your in for a treat with the Jc5 is just a special amp indeed!As for those who tend to down play "good sound " with a pre/processor it’s not as black and white as they say, pro’s and con’s are prevalent with both depending on listening habits...

Parasound Halo A31Anthem MCA 30You have to start somewhere and the Denon will do just fine for now with one of the above amps or better with a good 2/ch amp say an Halo A21+ for the mains which would be the direction I would go. As for Atmos just ... 
Which Subwoofer
The Rythmik G25 x 2 should fit the bill nicely. 
Best combination of HT and sound
I’m using an Marantz 8805 as well and have gotten many hours of 2/channel play from it, like the post above Pure direct is indeed a feature that works quite well. It does have the ability lacking on most pre’s to playback native dsd via HDMI , It’... 
Parasound A21+ vs Adcom GFA-585se
@prebs and @jdub39 I would be very interested in hearing your impressions of the JC5 coming from the A21? I have an A21 and am thinking of upgrading to the JC5 to coincide with an upgrade to the Paradigm persona speakers. I’ve heard conflicting r... 
Parasound A21+ vs Adcom GFA-585se
Had my A21 for 12ys before getting my JC5 last year, the original plan was to go from A21 to JC1's but then the JC5 happened and I'm set for now!Yeah! Parasound with John Curl design is really that good!! 
Morrow MA1 or MA2 Cables
Sure give them a shot! Mike makes great cables. 
Need opinions on ceiling reflections
Bass response! doing so effective makes a say a 4inch panel 8" . Here are a few links to explain further and a few installation options as well.http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUEnUuKZ1ZU http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjldCltb3XI  
Need opinions on ceiling reflections
@milpai You don’t want it flush but the same distance from the ceiling as the thickness of the panel , the optional cloud brackets from GIK are great and perfect for this. 
Need opinions on ceiling reflections
I installed 3 GIK 244 panels on my 8ft ceiling and should've did it long ago! I would consider it just as important as the side walls and boy oh boy does my room sound fantastic.

New Bluesound Node might make older node easy/cheap entry point for reluctant streamers
Wow! are you you telling me it finally has a USB output? if so I'm getting one ASAP. 
Does it worth a upgrade to Dolby Atmos?
Beyond yes! Atmos is to home cinema what 5.1 was to Dolby Prologic , the upmixers will even take a standard TV show and breath new life into the audio. No 5.1 processor no matter it's pedigree will outmatch a properly setup native 7.1.4 or 5.1.4 p...
