Using 7 chanel processor with a 5 chanel amp.

Many reviewers will lead you down the wrong path.
"My favorite is any reviewer who will say "Based upon my recollection..." of a system he heard years before (in a different room!) and one which has NOTHING in common with the system being reviewed. Yeah, I trust that guy..."I'd be more concerned ... 
Paradigm cc470 or cc570 to copliment 60's v.3
I'd sooner go with another 60v3 or 40v3 or 20v3 if you can fit one beneath/above your screen.Kal

Which way should I point the RadioShack spl meter?
Straight up.Kal 
Two line sources into one amp
Not a good idea as one source will shunt the other, even if only one is active at a time. Kal 
Empire Turntables New in Box-Worth Anything?
I would take a 208 (or 398 and throw away the arm). It is a basic belt-drive TT with an excellent bearing, platter and motor. Belts can always be obtained or made.Get two and I will make sure OUR TTs are tiptop. ;-)Kal

which power conditioner unit?
Compare those for features and price with the APC J-10 and H-10, respectively, (also similar models from Belkin) and you'll see why they are changing.Kal 
which power conditioner unit?
