Another SC4 would be ideal.Kal

I made the same error in reporting that it was a multidisc player but it is not. The display card at CEDIA was printed in error saying that it was.I have one now and it is a single disc player.Kal

Why do you want dipoles? Why not a pair of smaller DeVores?Kal 
Processor Help...Please
"Only hassle is setting the volume to zero gain when you select the processor input."Not a hassle since most modern preamps have an HT bypass setting or input.Kal 
What processor?
Depends on your video needs. The Cary will pass the video to your display just fine. However, for non-BluRay materials, i.e., DVD, TV, etc, many people prefer to have a video processor to enhance/optimize video performance. If you are one of these...
