Best 12k Home Theater Audio Setup

I really like a set up based on:
B&W CDM7NT
B&W CDMCNT
B&W CDM1NT
Bag End Infran 18 sub
Meridian 561 processor
Aragon 8008X5
Pioneer Elite DV-38A

Making good deals on this equipment you can get it all for just less of $12K. This set up will make you very happy listening to music and movies.

Hello Marty:

How are you doing??? Nice setup you have there. If you were to ask for my substitutions, then here is what my system would look like if was my $12K that I was spending.

Speaker System (Front): B&W CDM7NT (finished in Red Stained Cherrywood).
Speaker System (Center): B&W CDMCNT (finished in Red Stained Cherrywood).
Speaker System (Rear): B&W CDM1NT (finished in Red Stained Cherrywood).
Speaker System (Subwoofer): Velodyne HGS-12.
Power Amplifier: Bryston 9B THX.
Preamplifier/Processor: Bryston .SP-1
DVD Player: Pioneer Elite DV-38A.

And if I could manage to get this whole system from the same dealer (which in most cases, that's pretty hard to do), then I can have him to give me the whole system as a package deal. If he is able to that, then I would tie this system together with cabling from either Cardas or MIT (the MITerminator Series).

Not included in the system price (but listed anyway just for the sake of system completion, and something that I would have before hand) would be a Panasonic PT-50PD3-P 50" Plasma Display (which at $16,000.00, it exceeds the price of the entire audio system listed above).

That would be how the "audio portion" of my system would look if I had $12,000.00 to blow on audio equipment.

Cheers to you......

And by the way.... sorry for the repeat posts. I thought it didn't go up the first time like it normally would.

I'm running right around 12000 with a combination of new and used equipment. I have:

4 Legacy Classics (Main and Surround speakers)
1 Legacy SilverScreen 2 center
2 Sunfire Cinema Grands (all speakers are vertically biamped)
Sunfire Theater Grand 2 preamp
Pioneer Elite DV38A with full ModWright transport, standalone and clock mods (actually waiting for it to get back from Dan).

It's a great sounding system and the components have a lot of synergy.
