Zarak and Spiffnme, thanks for your replies.

Spiffnme, that is a very good suggestion and my wife would probably love the VTF-3 with the Rosewood touch :-)

You are right, M60s are required for my room size.

My only problem with a 5.1 system is that I won't be able to take full advantage of SACD and DVD-A. Other than that, I think your recommendation is perfect and I will probably go with it. Later on I will probably add the surrounds for a complete 7.1 system (unless you guys think that an 7.1 system might be an overkill for my room?)

Gosh, I really wish the end of the year bonus check would come earlier. There is no way I could have bought all of this gear without it....
