XM or Sirius Radio??
Sirius is considered a premium service and has more bandwidth streams and fewer commercials. Sirius also had professional DJ’s that seem to play better mixes from my experience with both services. Sirius has had some financial trouble, however, ha... 
Who makes a pre/pro with SACD Input?
I use a B&K Reference 30 Processor with my Sony SACD player. You will need 5.1 imputs for any form of SACD or DVD-A to work.

Is the DVD Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS? I love concert DVD's on my 106" Da-Lite movie screen. 
How many lines for standard TV, HDTV, DVD, S-Video
I thought progressive scan 480p only worked on Digital TV's.Michael 
Soundstaging and imaging are audiophile fictions.
Over 70% of the sound, we hear is reflected sound. This is the main reason I have slowly gravitated towards the Mirage OM-5's. After owning a pair of OM-6's I switched to B&W 802's for that Audiophile sound quality. There was something missing... 
Can I get "Great" used speakers for $1800??
Used B&W Matrix 802 series II or III go for around that price. I just sold a pair of the series III with sound anchor stands for $1,850. Great speaker for the price.Michael

I have the HTM-1 and the dialog is superb! If you can choke down the $1,700 it will match your 804’s perfectly. Personally, I have not listened to the HTM-2 but I know someone who owned them both, and I was told hands down the HTM-1 was well worth...

B&W Matrix 802 series III or Soliloquy 6.3?
Just be aware, the B&W 802 series III are power hungry even at 91 db sensitivity. I needed to upgrade from a 100wpc Adcom amp to a Citation 7.1 brigded @ 450wpc to get the response I was looking for.Hope this helps,Michael 
Shhhhhh Don't tell my wife. Looking at B&W 802Ns
show her the 802N she will feel much better with the tiny foot-print of the 802's. 
Need more punch from my B&W802 III HT setup
Anyone have B&W 802 III running a Brigded Citation 7.1 amp? I am considering 2 Citation 7.1's for my HT setup. The sunfire seems much to small to provide the power I seek. Bridged the Citation 7.1 will provide 450w into 8 ohm's. 
Need more punch from my B&W802 III HT setup
I will look into the Sunfire Cinema Grand Signature. 405w into 8ohms should take care of my lack of punch in the lower end.The VT100 MKII sounded great in a Demo; however, I lack the space for several amps in my setup. I have to work on the wife t...
