Need recommendation

Hello all, I'm finally in a position invest in a nice HT and audio system.  My experience is very limited so any help and guidance would greatly be appreciated.  My listening area is your typical open concept space that houses the kitchen, dining area and living room; its a rectangle about 35'x25', with 10' ceilings, hardwood flooring with three area carpets.  I've had a chance to listen to the Martin Logan classic on the Arcam 550 and prefer warmth and big soundstage over the B&W D3.  For me the Logans have a fuller sound, with more clarity and a more musical character to them.  I would like your thoughts on this set up and wonder if I can do better with the given budget.  My preference is music first and then HT second.  Thank you.
