While Im not going to comment on the sound of the speakers I would like to point out that perhaps you will want to take a look at Emotiva, Personally I dont find their products particularly attractive but from what I have read about them they seem to be pretty decent for the money. I wish that instead of buying our B&K reciever that I had gotten an emotiva setup, Even though ive been very happy with the B&K.
If your willing to spend that much on the pre/pro and amp Personally I think the money would be better spent if you put a bit more in for the speakers and less for the electronics.
