Ok,you want to know.One of my grandparents just passed away recently and left me the house and about 80 grand.This is how I got the money for the television and now for the system that I want to build
Follow Ups:
OK. Get a Meridian 861 processor and a selection of appropriately sized Meridian speakers (the new series looks quite an advance). Then you can move all this to a larger site as the 861 is modular and can be expanded while the present speakers can be used for other rooms. Very high quality and nothing wasted when you go large.Kal
And you want it based around a receiver, really? You should be going separates big-time. Safe to assume you want 7.1? Start with a nice high end surround processor, a stereo amp for the front and a multi channel for the rest. Go listen to some speakers you like and pick three for the front and four for the rear (you can go smaller here as the room is pretty small). Get a decent sub or two as well.
When spending $80,000 on a stereo in one drop you really owe it to yourself to spend a fair sun of the money on gas (and maybe even hotels) to find the system that sounds best to you.
For an 18 by 13 room, 5.1 is plenty. I would recommend a receiver as there are not many separates which offer a really significant increase in sound quality over a decent receiver with discrete devices in the output stage and a high current capability. I'd much rather keep my two channel totally separate from my surround system.....
just my 2 pieces of copper, YMMV

.. he has $80,000 to spend on his system. Even if the difference were very slight, he can easily afford it. For an $8000 system fine, for an $80,000 system why not go separates?
