Ok - We have the system ready to order: Gloss Black M80's, VP-150, QS-8's and an EP-600. I am under orders to make the system family friendly. This means a receiver or separates with easy to operate front panel controls, as my kids are incapable of NOT losing a remote.
I also have get the electronics into an equipment rack upon which will sit a 70 inch TV, the frontrunner is the new JVC DILA set. Think low-boy in profile.
The H-K 7300 looks like a great match, as does the NAD T-773.
Any suggestions for furniture ? The H-K is 20 inches deep plus the needed clearance for cables, etc ... That seems a challenge. What I really need is something about 24 inches deep, with removable back panels, about 72 inches wide, and 24 inches tall.

I think the NAD is less feature rich, which is not necessarily a negative, but because of that fact, it might be easier to operate.
I think a gloss black rack will finish things off nicely.

Would you consider having Brucer make you a custom job?

Might not be much help, but you can get a nice discount buying from harmanaudio or spearitsound for HK and NAD respectively, refurbished. Although if you can afford such a system, you probably don't need the discount.
I like the simplicity of NAD products a lot. In addition to the fact that they put a lot of power behind their products.. their 50 wpc receivers weigh more than competetion's 100 wpc receivers. If they rate as conservatively as I think, your house's fuse box will be the weak link before the T-773 is.

I was checking out Brucer's stuff tonight - it looks like he has some good ideas. I will show his stuff to "she who decorates" ...
Good Call !

Thanks for the link - Nad and I used to be GREAT friends, I have owned more than 20 NAD pieces over the years, so I am leaning that direction. The ease of use seems to be there, too.

Check this sight out Craig. Not the most esthetic stuff I've ever seen, but you did mention children. And I usually have a house full of the little monsters running around, so this looks functional from that perspective. Which reminds me….I have a lizard on the loose somewhere in this house that I now get the pleasure of finding……all 4700 square feet of it.
At any rate, you build modular cabinets on line to your needs.

And you link posting freaks just back off. I’m lazy and I admit it. Plus it’s the principal. I don’t like having to go through all those damn key strokes to post stinking link.

I was waiting for someone to post a link. That'll teach him.
