Just like to say thanks to all who have contributed to the various FAQ's found in this forum. I read as much as I could. Ordered the gear and was watching a DVD about 4 hours after UPS dropped the stuff off. Here's what I put together and couldnt be happier. Price ran about $1400. My biggest concern was the quality of sound. I must say I am very impressed. The sound IMHO is the same if not better than my Sony 7700. Thanks again Y'all.

They don't reply to emails. Well enough of that rant. Lets just say I will not buy from them again, and discourage anyone thinking of buying a B&K product.)
