[QUOTE="JimiJames, post: 31166, member: 762"] Thanks for all the input - I appreciate the welcome! :) I'll phone around and see if I can get a demo on the B&W's - I've had a few people who seem to be ardent B&W fans, and they can't all be wrong! Its just that the MS's are quite a bit cheaper. I'll take a listen and see from there. As for the Receiver - both the Sony models had pretty full feature lists for seemingly reasonable prices, and good HDMI input counts. I've heard stories that their sound may be a little "bright" and I should be careful what speakers I match them up to. The equivalent Onkyo, Denon and Yamaha (haven't really checked the Marantz yet) receivers seem far more expensive for the same features. Especially if I can get that 5300ES for under R8k! Anyone know where I can hunt these down for that price? In the mean time I'm going to see what of the other brands I can get for under R10k. Thanks again for all your help! James [/QUOTE]
