big screen - two channel system enough for dialog?
I'm in the camp of use the center, and surrounds for home theater. Way back in the day, I started with just to channel for movies, and TV. I can't say I didn't enjoy it, I did. Very much back then. Mitches comment about planes flying past is exact... 
Proac response 2
Simon,I have seen foam cut, and spliced back together. It actually was not all that unusual years back. It wouldn't be my first choice, but just becauce yours are like that, doesn't mean they won't sound fine. I would listen to them for some time ... 
10" sub.... 500 price barrier....
I'm a Klipsch dealer. The sub Bill mentions isn't bad for the money. We've sold lots of them. The same money would get you a PSB (also a dealer)I like the PSB's better myself. Really musical. Better suited to 2 channel than the Klipsch IMO.

Av, you really have blown my comments out of proportion.-My first response to the OP was to add an amp to his set-up.-I also said I didn't believe everything I read in Peters review. You said "nobody would trade their high end seperates for a recv... 
What Difference Will A 4k Capable DVD Player Make?
Me too Mitch. Although you could probably charge admission to your room. I know I'd like to see it! 
Upgrade from Arcam P7 amp?
I believe it is a FPB300. It's in his 2 channel only set-up. He has a seperate system for HT. In there, he uses the Arcam 777. (Bottom line, for me anyway, is that the Krell doesn't sound as good to me as the Arcam) I don't see the 777 being any b... 
What Difference Will A 4k Capable DVD Player Make?
Mitch, I think you have answered your own qustion. Regardless of your source, you can't get any better than what your PJ will display. If 24K is the cost to get there, thats what you have to do. If it were me, I would enjoy what you have for the m... 
16 x 12...ideal sub size
**Dealer disclaimer**I don't think you are limited to a sub that small. Thats not to say you can't get good results from them though. I would think a good quality sub of 12"-15" would be fine. My main room at home is 16X20, and I use a pair of 12"...

Avgoround,You are wrong. The AVR-600 WILL beat most seperates. Will it beat the Krell amp, or Anthom, I really don't know. If you care to believe what a reviewer says, yes, Peter Moncrieff, in widescreen review, said it was THE BEST sound he has e...

Arcam AVR 600. It beat the pants off of my all Sunfire seperate system in every way, and I really liked that set up. I had one (AVR 600) for quite some time. I ended up selling it to a customer that "had to have it" or I would still be using it. I... 
No love. Why?
I wouldn't give it a second thought. If you like them, thats all that matters. Everyone has an opinion, and that exactly what it is. I'm not crazy about the Oppo players, but everyone else seems to love them... 
New home theater setup
Avgoround, just for the sake of arguement, all seperates will not beat all AVR's, and yes, I know from experience. I could bring you an AVR that will beat up on many/most seperates. 
CD player with track programming
Seems to me, by the time you program it to do that, you could more easily, and more quickley, skip to the track you want with the remote? 
New home theater setup
I think your idea will work. It wouldn't be my first choice though. I would eliminate the old receiver from the set-up, and add a good power amp. Chances are the seperate amp will be much better than the old receiver is. Most, receivers don't have... 
Upgrade from Arcam P7 amp?
I use the same amp at home. It also pulls double duty for me in my theater room. It's probably the only thing I have no real interest in changing. It does everything right. I will admit, I'm curious how a Classe amp would sound in my mostly Arcam ...
