I Just Don't Get Video
Videophiles can be a lot like audiophile...IT'S THE GEAR, not the movie. A little time spent at the avsfourm will find the two hobbie's both drive some people to excess and plenty of manufacturers to fill all needs.Dave

Best affordable amp for Thiel CS3.6
One Call has a close-out on a big ATI 5 channel amp at $1,500. You could use it for all channels or as a bi-amp plus center channel for fronts and add a smaller two channel amp for rears. http://ww1.onecall.com/About_50001000_22_68_0_0_0_0.htm Not... 
2-channel pre-amp and dedicated processor?
jpaikUnity gain is only the point were the volume control is neutral..it does not have to be at 12 O'clock but may be on most pre's. You can really set the volume control at any point. You can use a cheap receiver as pre-pro but you will need pre-... 
2-channel pre-amp and dedicated processor?

I Need Help with a Passive Sub
The big VMPS subs are passive and front firing. They are easy to drive and go very deep. I'm driving mine with an Onkyo M-504 amp crossed over at 35hz.Dave 
Amp/Speaker Combination
If you say McIntosh is the best amp for Genesis, I have to wonder why? While your idea of a best amp for a given speaker system would make things easy for all of us (we could compile a list)..don't you think the list would be full of conflicting o...

Yes, you can go in the shallow end..the sharks can't go there. Stay there and enjoy the music with no fear or worry.Dave

Sweet Spot?
My Apogee Duetta Signatures have a wider+larger soundstage than any of my other 3 pair of speakers. They do have a sweet spot but I can enjoy from many different seating locations. My room is on the larger side so this may help.Dave 
B&K Sonata M200 vs Aragon paladiums - whats better
I don't know the Boston Lynnfield's or the spl's you like, or the size of your room..but, I would Pass on the Pass, it's not a powerhouse amp for hard to drive speakers IMO. A used pair of Aragon mono's has much more power (not sure if the new Ara...
