Vintage McIntosh & JBL System
Br3098I definitely agree with you, I know speakers, particularly vintage, Ste a tough seek.As beautiful as the cabinetry is, out really isn't practical more most vintage audio users.I really hate breaking it down, might try one time whole system s... 
John Dunlavy may not be with us much longer.
A pair of Duntech Sovereign's turned up on local Craigslist. I hadn't seen or heard about John Dunlavy in years, so I thought I would do some research. I worked with he and Jim Fosgate on the Fosgate Audionics 5.1 Systems (later Citation). Amazing... 
Dahlquist DQ12
Anxious to hear them, just acquired a pair of DQ-12's, also have a pair of DQM-9C and AR-303's. Going to be interesting to hear the differences, maybe B&K for power ? but have an old Nikko Alpha 1 that may be adequate.Anyone have the specs on ...

Soundstream DA-2 THX Amplifier
Sorry for the delayed response, what are you asking for your 4200 and Citation processor? Incidentally, I believe the DA-2 were $1400 new. I've found some similar to your's for $250 - $300 (w/ 120) each. Might just opt myself! I have a JBL Syn AC3... 
Surrounds Placement for Diffused Sound?
By the way, nice room dimensions, should work well. FYI, have pair of Triad Silver THX OnWall surrounds listed! 
Surrounds Placement for Diffused Sound?
You'd be better off with the dipoles on the sides of the ceiling and the directionals in the back, if at all possible. Ideally, you want same tweeter and woofer configuration for proper timbre match. If memory serves correct, dipole surrounds have... 
Front projection screens
Have a Stewart, UM 150 ? (have to check) 84" diagonal (check also), will get back if interested. 
Line doublers/quadruplers
Princeton makes a good value, high performance, scan converter for under $700. They have all come down in price since Faroudja chipped the 3-2 pull down feature. Don't get an older one, the newer technology costs less. 
Soundstream DA-2 THX Amplifier
I think they were appx $1000 new (maybe more). Good price. I rep'd alot of high end HT mnfrs (Runco, Stewart, B&K, JBL Syn, etc) the last several years. What are you placing in your system? Regards, DC 
In walls: who do you like?
Had a brain cramp, isn't Bass Speakers (they're 12 volt) it's May Audio. They've exhibited at CEDIA the last couple of years. 
Receiver-- good stereo sound quality
You're not going to find a good audiophile receiver for that price. B&K make a nice Stereo A/V peamp for 2 channel applications, the PT 3 you may consider inthat price range. For a little more money the B&K AVR series. I've seen a few used... 
Soundstream DA-2 THX Amplifier
It was actually a pretty nice amp. I think 200 watts channel. If I remember correctly, it's bridgeable as well. If the price is right, I'd go with it. FYI, I have a Soundstream DAC 1 available. FYI, The SoundStream M-100 series were horrible. Best DC 
In walls: who do you like?
Most inwalls are just a speaker baffle utilizing the wall cavity as an enclosure. This cavity doesn't necessary have consistent volume from one speaker to the other. In addition you're going to deal with bleed through into adjoining rooms. Several...
