Home Theater or Two Chanel sound Quality ?


I am intending to instal a home theater sorround system. But the most important thing for me is a good quality two chanel sound system. I care a lot more about the two chanel sound quality than the the home theater setup.
I allready have a pair of Mirage OM5 and I am shopping for everything else.
Here are my questions:

1. I was recommended to get the Denon DVD-5900. Should I, instead, buy a sheaper dvd player for my movies and a separate cd player for better music quality?

2. As preamp I was recommended to get the B&K Reference 50 and as Amplifiers the two separate 200.1 mono and add later the Reference 200.3 for the home theater. Is this a good choice for my speakers ?

I am new in audio... so please... someone help me !

Thank you
zroland

I would agree with snootybiffer here, Even the Proceed AVP-S would be a huge upgrade for 2 channel comparatively to what you're looking at, very good in 2 channel and very good in home theater modes.
I keep my amps seperate as well and it works for me.
There is one dvp that i would recommend if you dont want to have seperate cd and dvp, the Meridian DVP 596 is actually a pretty incredible piece for 2 channel and fantastic for home theater.
I use a 596 Phillips and Wadia for 2 channel and it works fine,, problem is,, you start getting one very large rack of gear for all this stuff!
Good luck!
