I am a realistic person. If your budget allows for a $2500 receiver,
then I will recommend separates.

About speakers, please listen to the new Von Schweikert
VR2000/LCR20/TS200 before buying those Paradigms.

I'd strongly encourage you to get one of the Pioneer combi LD/DVD
players. It will be a very long time until DVD has the kind of back
catalog that LD does. If you just get a DVD player than you are
relegated to watching crappy VHS for all but the 50 or so movies on
DVD.

Toshibe is very nice (I think I saw the picture on that model), go with
3006 or Sony with component out for upgrades, Paradigm is very good
(though listen to Mirage, NEAR, NHT, Von Schweikart etc), I would consider
also B&K and others as well as Yamaha.

Happy listening/viewing! B...@AvalonAV.com Medford, NJ. By appt.

Steve,

Before you make
your final decision
you should check
out Kenwood's HT
web
site. It is very cool
because you can
design and build a
home theater
system, online. It
will help you to
determine what
type of equipment
will
bring you the best
quality sound for
your home.
