    What about the SR7500 or even the SR5500. Be careful with the 5400 as the Cirrus chip which is the DSP on board cuts out a lot

    Ya im alot more willing to dish out about $1000. Me buying something is still a little while away as im moving soon, so i have to see how everything goes... also have to keep in mind that when i do this im gona do it right. (reciever, amp, dvd player, pre amp, etc.)

    Forget the Pre-amp. Get a top Receiver, 7.1 speakers, DVD player with Progressive Scan and Component or DVI output, good CD player, and your sorted.

    Forget the pre-amp? really? Are they targeted at yuppies and un-knowledgable ppl like me?

    I guess what im trying to say is, does it not make a noticable difference in the sound?

    Not really. Pre-amps are fine, and do sound great, but they arent really required. Id just get a main receiver with enough output to power 7 speakers.

    Thats all you need mate. I know a lot of audiophiles will say that you should get a receiver, and then get the correct amount of pre-amps to power your speakers. That only really applies to set-ups like the Lexicon RV8 and other such set-ups. When you are in the lower price brackets like myself, you have really have to be taken a receiver/amp in one unit. Denon, NAD, Marantz, Pioneer, Sony and loads of others make very good ones. My favourite are the Marantz setups, but the Pioneer ones are excellent too.

    Im using my Marantz SR7500 with Monitor Audio speakers and it sounds awesome mate.
