buying used speakers
Thanks to all for for input. Let me be a little less general. I am seriously considering buying a pair of speakers listed for $4000 on this site. List price for the speakers is $7200, and checking around this is what they sell for. They are nine m...

Balanced cable recom. for Classe
I have good luck with balanced Harmonic tech truthlink between Classe ca200 and ssp-25 
Advice for amp with in wall speakers.
I have an Adcom 5006 which is a custom installation amp that is designed to do this. 50 watts into each of six channels. The channels can be daisy chained or bridged in many configurations. Check it out on adcoms web site. 
Bryston 4BST or Classe' 201
Both are good amps. The winner is the one you like the sound of with your speakers. For me it is the Classe. 
classe ca 200 running too hot?
Mine runs hot after playing hard. You can just barely hold your hand on the heat sinks. 
Preamp/Processor indecision!
Classe ssp-25 would give you better stereo sound than the units you listed. No video switching though.

ML-335, NHT 2.9, what speaker cable?
I use Harmonic Tech pro-nine bi wire between a Classe ca 200 and NHT 2.9's. Very good detail but not too bright. Don't know how they would sound with Levinson. I am selling a 14 foot pair for $550 and looking to buy a 6 or 8 foot pair due to to ro... 
Revel VS Avalon
Sounds like Joeincoherent has a bad case of Eidolon envy. So do I. I wish I could afford them. 
My wife is so uncool!
My wife doesn't mind when I buy stuff (of course I lie about the cost, I know she lies about the cost of all those shoes) but she is a pain when I want to listen to it. 
Thule 250, Classé SSP25 or Lexicon
I have an ssp25. It is a great sounding pre amp with home thearter processing as a bonus. At about $1900 used it is worth the money just as a pre amp.
