HT Components-would appreciate thoughts

Looking for feedback on this system-a bit of a mongrel, but uses some equipment I already have and enjoy. Room 20 x 17 family room, open to second story above.Video 45% Music 55% - also want to direct sources to a multi room system later.Listen to lots of Jazz, Instrumental Music. Enjoy the subleties of a good movie soundtrack more than the slam/bam.

Pre/Pro Bryston SP-1
Front Channel Amp Odyssey Stratos HT 3
DVD/CD Source - TBD...ideas??
Front L/R Linn Keilidh
Center Linn AV 5120
Rear Surrounds Paradigm Active 20s (late version 1)
Sub REL Strata II

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Thanks again for the replies. Budget is $6,000 not including Display and IC's. I want a direct view display. I am viewing across the short dimension of my room. The display that I'm interested in right now is the Loewe Aconda 9381 ZW (32", 30" viewable). I demoed this unit with a Progressive scan DVD player and it was impressive.

swampwalker-I don't know enough about the equipment used in the demo to answer your question.

Thanks for reply. I own the Linn Keilidhs right now, but not the SP-1.The SP-1 does allow remote triggering (12v) + it has an RS-232 out + a phone jack to connect to an infrared device. I'm no multiroom expert. I'm considering purchase of the active 20s used in the $750 range....it let's me get some high quality rear channel sound without the expense of speakers+amplification.SACD is not an issue currently.I beleive the SP-1 can handle 5.1 SACD inputs. DVD/CDP that could handle SACD would be ideal.Thanks for your post.
