Re: How to start up an HT system ?

194.209.91.2

1)Room size (average)
2)I have bought Totem Forest speakers for main (quite expensive 2800USD) and I plan to buy good cables and interconnects.
3)For pre/amp or integrated (5 channels) I have allocated about 3000USD for the next two years. (2000USD in the near future and the rest in 1-2 years by now). I have to allocate separate budget for rears / centre and sub as well.
4)I plan to buy a 2 channel pre/amp or integrated for about 2000 USD (NAD Silver/ Classe/ Bryston maybe Krell). I prefer to have a better system for mains, the problem is that I understood the new DD audio will be 5 full audio spectrum channel. So I don't know what to do.
5)It is true that I have an old integrated (2 channel) that I can use in the near future (as least as a temporary solution).

I don't know what to do:
1)use the existing 2 channel and buy a 3-channel
2)wait more (one year) and buy an 5-way
3)start with a good two channel and wait for the money and DD audio (I am not and HT video fan, I am more interested in music)
Can you tell me which combination is least expense (for a certain brand). I.e go with separates (I need 5 preamplifiers !!!) or with integrates?. Does the HT processor plays the role of the pre ?

Thanks,
Daniel.
