Best efficient speaker for the money.
Dunleavy's make incredibly efficient speakers. 
4 Velodyne HGS-15's or 2 Velodyne HGS-18's?
I wouldn't stack the 15's and I would suggest putting the subs outside the main speakers. Almost no manufacturer reccommends the inside the main setup. If you want four subs put them in four corners. The Velodyne 18's are great so use em. I person... 
Integrate 2-channel or go all 5 channel
If you are doing HT and it is of importance go with a multichannel system. There are many fine 5 channel amps out there which you would be very happy with. The Proceed Amp 5, CJ 5600, Rotel 1075 ect. All in a variety of prices and configurations t...

Review: Sistrum Mini-Minitor Platform Support-SMM 1 Stand
I got the sistrum racks for my whole a/v system and they are fantastic. Pretty cool to look at too. The sound difference is obvious and immediate. 
Review: Revel Performa M-20 Speaker
I love em. They are best bang for the buck on the market. I did add a sub for the bass. 
Anything that is like Norah Jones?
Thank God I am not nuts. I listen to Norah Jones all the time. I just spent a ton on a dedicated media system and when I want someone to hear how great it is I put on Norah Jones. You can compare her to whoever you want but she is Norah.

Sunfire vs. Rotel
Thanks for the thoughful responses and rambling is ok. I put a lot time and effort into my a/v gear and appreciate all the insight anyone else will share. 
Sunfire vs. Rotel
I had not considered the anthem. The space I have is more than sufficient for almost anything, but realizing the limits of bedroom viewing and listening I am looking to keep it all a little compact. 
Custom Rack Stand
Look sistrum racks from star sound. You can check them out a audiopoints.com. They are excellent sound enhancing additions to a system. 
My Levinson doesn't like the juice
Lool at equitech balanced power before putting a conditioner on your amp. 
Best Power Conditioner?
I like none of the power conditioners for amps. They condition power which means the amps are getting the real thing. They are fine for digital equipment and video. However, I agree with Jeff_s that the way to go is the Equitech balanced power sys...

Why Put Up With "Wife Approval Factor"?
