Dead advice on high end stereo/HT mix

With the speakers that will blend with the Thiel 3.6's the closest to your price range in my opinion are the Monitor Audio Silver series 12i for center,either get the 4i's or the Silver Series Dipole surrounds, then get a Parasound 3 or 5 channel amp and you will be set. The Monitor Audio speakers are fast speakers like the Thiels and with a Parasound amp powering them it will be descent HT set up.

Keep them Stereo and HT systems separate. Get the best you can for your budget HT receiver + 5 monitors(or 4 monitors + center channel) + subwoofer. You will pay for an extra pair of monitors, but will save on headache. This way you don’t need to match center channel to thiels, simplify setup, get rid of potential ground loops

Thanks. After doing the rounds of the medium priced shops I'm convinced that Nar_com is correct. I've heard $1K speaker systems (5+sub) that sound dynamite for DVD soundtracks and they sound like crap for music. Going to $3-4K it still holds. The reason is most of what I heard was using a 5.1 or 6.1 channel receiver. I think that a good amp is really a waist of money (assuming the sub is self powered) Just listened to the Infinity modulus system driven by a 50w/channel Dennon. Sounded about as good as I would ever want so keeping my Class A stereo separate would save a lot of grief.
