My Dream Theater

[Willow]

I am in the process of constructing my dream theater (within reason due to budgetary matters). I am looking to construct a home theater from scratch that will be used primarily for movies, but will also have the capability to play everything from rock to classical.

I believe that I have decided on the B&W CDM9NT speakers for mains and their matching CDM center channel, but I haven't yet decided on the surrounds, nor anything else for that matter. I'm looking for suggestions on speakers, a DVD player, CD player, amp, pre-amp (really necessary?), and receiver. And I'd like to keep it all under $10,000.

What would you do?

we will need room size.....do you have a tv or do you have to buy one ?
and why wouldnt you just go with the CDms for rears ?? or are you looking for bi/di-poles ? your $$ amount is a good amount to work with and Im sure you can get great equipment for under that!! What about a sub ??

You may find that you will get a system that exceeds you expectations for only $7-8k, in which you will have a nice chunk 'o change leftover!

Nice Budget.
