Focal, Martin Logan Sistine or Paradigm for in ceiling cool.
djones51,Thank you for the link.  Definitely very impressive speakers on that site.  Price is typically a good reference for the level of quality/performance and the Martin Logan Sistine 4xc's are in the same price range as those you recommended. ... 
Focal Sopra 1, Kudos 505, Paradigm Persona B, etc.
I believe the total for the bookshelf speakers, a new center and an amp will be about $10,000.00 maximum.  I am leaning toward the Persona B bookshelf speakers, not sure about the center (paradigm cc470 v3?), and possibly a parasound or Anthem amp... 
Turntable question
I missed out on the GR but just purchased the sl1200G.  Will have it delivered next week, then I will begin the hunt for a proper cartridge and possibly a phono stage.  Thanks for all your advice to date! 
Turntable question
I have located a 1 year old SL1200GR for about $500-600.00 and in excellent condition.  I have looked at the used Linn, Thorens, Rega, VPI, Clearaudio but am gun shy about getting a used high end TT then possibly dropping a fair amount of funds to... 
Turntable question
I believe I will get the Technics SL1200GR but I know the VPI and many other TT's are outstanding.  Going with the GR gives me a little flexibility in getting the correct cartridge/cables etc.).  Just want something that's not too temperamental (i... 
Which Pre Amp Amp for New User? Opinions Please
I decided on the Parasound Halo A51 and an Integra DTC 80.3. I just bought a used Velodyne DD10 sub and am continuing to investigate front speakers and a center. I appreciate your recommendations and although I gave a $20,000 budget, I am now more...

Oppo BDP 95 or BDP 93 Nuforce for cd redbook sound
BDP 95. Just set up last night. Incredible. Agree with Dcbingaman. 
Which DVD player
Bought the Denon 3930Ci, kind of a toss up between similar units but I don't have the most high end system on the planet. Just bought the M&K 1611P active fronts, K4 passive rears and an MX7000 sub so I have yet to give you any feedback. Plan ... 
Which DVD player
Denon 3930Ci or Marantz 9600. I am looking at both, will get one this week. Have heard Oppo is good. 
How do I select a new/used amp for a new system?
Well, jumped in, bought two of the M&K 1611P, one MX 7000. Looking at the Denon3805, NAD 773, Anthem AVM 30, Bryston SP2. Hope to get the AV pre/pro next week. When I recover, will look for some help selecting CD/DVD. 
How do I select a new/used amp for a new system?
I need an AV pre/pro. I began searching and found a TacT TCS for $10,000 (whoa!), although it looks fantastic and the review was excellent. I sent an email to M&K asking what pre/pro they advise for their speakers (which I am probably going to... 
How do I select a new/used amp for a new system?
Bob,Thanks again. I have been checking the websites and going back through your threads and others to learn more. I can't believe how much information and knowledge you A/V guys have. I feel like I need to learn a new language. Frankly, its a litt... 
How do I select a new/used amp for a new system?
Thanks,I checked out the web site for the ATC's and the price was impressive. If I get ATC's, am I able to incorporate them in surround and what type of amps should I look at?
