Suggestions for electronics for new HT system

I have been gradually gathering my speakers for my new HT room in new house and now am desiring recommendations for electronics. I will be using B&W 802s as two fronts and HTM1 for center. The B&W 805s will be side and SCMs two rears. I am going to purchase a DD18 Velodyne as a sub. I would like suggestions for a good match with these speakers for dvd, cd, amp, pre-amp sound processor etc... I also would like suggestions in regard to projector dlp vs. lcd. Would appreciate any advice and would like to spend around 10k for the rest of the system. Thanks

I saw a demo of the Epson DLP and it is pretty good

Check out a brand new Arcam AVR300 home theatre receiver. Has a nice phono section, excellent analogue stereo listening, and is very good as a processor with all the usual modes. The amplifier is also very good and powerful enough for all but things like Thiel and nasty Maggies at 1 ohm!

A used Krell HTS is also a nice choice but I'd look at the Arcam. A used Meridian DVD 596 is a decent choice but I am not very versed in high end DVD players as I do not watch that much in the way of DVD since HDTV came out.

Ghaas,

Knowing your budget would help.

Artizen - He said $10K in the last sentence.

I'd think about an Anthem set-up along with the Cary, which is also very nice. For your price range you should be able to do better than Rotel.
