Best Processor around 1500.00
Get a CAL SSP-2500 while waiting for HDMI. It's the best bang for the buck from the audio section like the one below. This used to cost $5000 at new and it's the most sounding and flexible pre-amp I ever owned and I have owned quite a few from The... 
I have four B&W 801's, two 603's and a B&W center
I'm driving my 801N with Mac 501 monos and I'm very happy. 
Which processor has better audio for home theater?
CAL Audio labs SSP 2500. 
B&W 801 separate amplifier just for bass drivers
I used four channels of my CAL MC2500 on 30amp dedicated circuit and I'm very happy with the sound. 
Help Please recommend a 5ch amp around $2000
Cal Audio Labs MCA 2500.QN 
multichannel amplifier for B&W 805 S
I agree with Jmpwme. I have a complete CAL 2500 setup and the amp is a beast once you have a dedicate 20amp circuit for it. My setup is 804N(F) HTM1(C) and 805N(R). For the price, I think it's totally a steal for MCA2500 at $2500 used. It litterly...

I finally had time to set up my system at my new place. I upgraded to 804N and move the 805N to the rears. After much regret from selling it in the first place, I bought another CAL Icon MKII with PowerBoss to use as source. 
Which 5.1 ch Pre?
Get a CAL Audio Labs SSP for under $1200.QN

Thanks for all the comments, I knew I can always count on you guys. Yes, though it's not a very good sub, I do have the B&W ASW1000. To me, it does a decent job with HT but a bit slow in music. I'm looking/debating between REL StrataIII, Storm... 
HT processor recommendation
Try to demo one and you'll know what i'm talking about 
How hard is it set up Paradigm Studio/100.
If your taste is 70% music then using a receiver won't do justice to you Pardigm 100. I'm using a Classe ssp25 and citation 7.1 to drive my Paradigm 100v2 and can't be happier. These speakers are power hogs.Sacm 
HT - Which processor
I bought my Classe ssp25 with DTS for $1200 here and never look back. I pair it with a Citation Amp (350x2 bridged), also bought here for $900. Hope this helps and let me know what you think.
