Simplifying my A/V experience

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

As part of my remodel, I would like to upgrade my A/V system.

I currently have a 5 channel pre/amp from Myryad (T-50/T-70) hooked up to JMR Twin MkIIs and Ecrans, and using a Squeezebox with a modified ART DI/O DAC for Audio, and a Denon 2200 for decoding. I also have ACI Force for the sub.

Music is my primary focus, but I'd like to be able to watch a nice DVD recording of concerts and movies occassionally. I will be replacing my source with a media server for all my audio (FLAC) and most of my video (DVD to Blu-Ray).

Currently, the missing pieces in order of priority are -

1. A good decoder for 5/7 channel which potentially could also replace the ART DI/O as a DAC. My current preamp has no decoding.
2. A Bass Mgmt/EQ system for both HT/Stereo
3. a good center channel speaker
4. 2 additional speakers for 7.1 (probably use the twins for the side/rear and upgrade my fronts?)

What would be the best way of building on what I have (assuming that this is even possible) within 3-5k?

Thanks
