Juan,

NICE looking room! Are those Aerial Model 8's? I worked at an Aerial dealer in Melbourne, FL back in the late '90s. Awesome speakers. Michael Kelly is a genius, as well as a super nice guy. Amongst other things, he designed the 320i's when he was with a/d/s/ back in the 80's. I've got a pair in my Carrera that I wouldn't part with for anything. Anyway, didn't mean to hijack the thread.

Adam,

If it was me, I'd consider keeping the stuff you have and using it in a den or office where you can enjoy just music. Even if you utilized a nice pair of bookshelf speakers with the current preamp and amp you have. You might be better off starting from scratch for your media system as integrating what you have will make things more complicated than they need to be for home theater. You can get really decent sounding A/V receivers these days. I just bought a Denon 3805 and it sounds fantastic. Not to the level of detail that a high-end 2 channel setup can provide, but for home theater its perfect. Just food for thought...
