A few years ago my father gave me his Conrad Johnson pre-amp and Audire-Forte amp. I bought myself some nice PSB speakers around 3-4 feet tall, and had a decent CD player (but soon will need to be replaced) so I have a nice sounding music system.

Now the situation, we're moving to a new house ijn 2 weeks with this incredible family room addition, 30 feet long by 20 wide, big cathedral ceilings, just a great room. I'd like to consolodate my stereo equipment, TV (hopefully replacing with a Sony Wega 50" after we move) DVD player, surround sound amp (JVC, nothing special but it processes dolby and DTS and get's radio stations) and bookshelf speakers. Also I'd like to be able to patch in my IPOD as I've got around 2000 songs loaded and it is just so darn convenient.

I want good quality but I'm not a turntable, blanket the walls and turn off the lights type of audio guy. Can I somehow make use of all of this equipement? Can the Pre-Amp, amp and surround sound amp somehow be made to work together? I know this is a big question for a Porsche forum and perhaps someone could point the way to a more specific forum for this....

Thoughts? Thanks.
