So I was quite happy with my HT setup. Denon-2801, JBL Studio series speakers, small athena sub. Two weeks ago my house got struck by lighting and caught fire. What wasn't burned, was blown up by lighting. I'll be getting some insurance money, not much but some. So I need to replace what was lost. My question is, what is out now that is comparable to the 2801 in price and size, and what small bookshelf speakers are hot. My local dealer has a deal on some monitor audio and PSB stuff, but wanted to see what else was out there. I imagine I can drop bewteen $1,500-$2,000 on a receiver, speakers and a sub. I should add I live in a two flat apartment, so I can't tear the roof off.

Also, I'm picking up a Sony Bravia 40" KDL2500. Thanks, its been awhile since I've shopped consumer audio gear.


also that beautiful bass you see in my avatar didn't make it, so sad.......
