HT Components-would appreciate thoughts

Thanks for reply. I own the Linn Keilidhs right now, but not the SP-1.The SP-1 does allow remote triggering (12v) + it has an RS-232 out + a phone jack to connect to an infrared device. I'm no multiroom expert. I'm considering purchase of the active 20s used in the $750 range....it let's me get some high quality rear channel sound without the expense of speakers+amplification.SACD is not an issue currently.I beleive the SP-1 can handle 5.1 SACD inputs. DVD/CDP that could handle SACD would be ideal.Thanks for your post.

Chstob; I also read that review. made me want to go right out and get a Camelot. Does anyone here own one? Are they really THAT GOOD? I am ready to upgrade to a progressive scan DVD player for my Mitsubishi HDTV. Mike: System looks good. what will you use as a Viewer for your DVD player?

Mike:

Thumbs up. So far, your system looks great. No complaints here, that's for sure.

Now, as for your DVD/CD Player, you stated that you wanted SACD capability as well, right?? Well in this case, what budget are you REALLY working with?? Because so far, the only "affordable" DVD/CD Player that I know of is the Sony DVP-S9000ES ($1,500.00 MSRP), and I don't know if this is enough player to meet your needs or not. But, if I find anymore players to suggest to you, I'll let you know.

And now that you have most of your home theater in place, I am with "Snooker14" when I ask you THIS question. If you have a DVD Player in place and all, what I would like to know is what kind of display will you be using with your DVD Player (Direct-View?? Front Projector?? RPTV?? Wall Mount Plasma?? And what size will your display be)?? I see you don't have a display of any type listed in your system configuration listed above.

Snooker, I don't have one-yet anyway. I AM going to get one ASAP. I spoke to one member who has one and said it was all what it is purported to be. It does not, and never will handle SACD, but the video is the best and the DACS are really great, plus it upsamples everything to 24/96. Go to the candystore, audioadvisor.com, and look at the thing. So good. I will have to figure something else out for SACD, should I deem it necessary, as my pre/pro does not have 5.1 ch. inputs. I'm thinking about selling a kidney to get one sooner.

Thanks again for the replies. Budget is $6,000 not including Display and IC's. I want a direct view display. I am viewing across the short dimension of my room. The display that I'm interested in right now is the Loewe Aconda 9381 ZW (32", 30" viewable). I demoed this unit with a Progressive scan DVD player and it was impressive.
