Building a Brand New HT... Need advice


I'm building a new Home Theater on my dad's house and I'm looking for advice... For the moment, I'm buying the following equipments: Pre-Amp/Processor/Tuner; Amplifiers and Speakers System. I want to build a 7 channel HT (for DTS-ES and THX EX), so my Pre-Amp choises are a little limited. I was thinking on buying the B&Ks (Reference 30 Pre-Amp and Reference 7270 7ch Amp) and the MKs 150 THX Ultra Certified Speakers System. What do you think? Can you give me some advice for equipment at this price range (around 10K)?

My Lexicon MC-1 will handle 7 speakers (2 rear and 2 side plus the usual 3 in front) but it is not a true 7.1 Depending on the mode I use I can make it sound very good, better than 5.1, but it there is no true 7.1 software that I know of. The newest thing is 6.1, with 10.1 maybe in the near future. There are 6.1 movies out now, and I believe the newest Lexicon has the capability to process it. Very confusing, but worth reading up on before you decide!!!!!
