In some of the pictures I saw, the finish looked inconsistent and sloppy.

Could you have been looking at one of the home-built kits by ED?

In some of the pictures I saw, the finish looked inconsistent and sloppy. I guess I'll see in a few weeks. I ordered an A3-300 this afternoon. I figured I have mention them enough that I might as well take my own advice. I'm selling in my Hsu VTF2 and this will be its replacement.

I don't have any "new" opinion, but generally agree with what others - especially Jakewash - said. Get the M22's. I'd get the sub before the surrounds if you have to choose. I think the VP100 is plenty. I don't know what you're spending on the receiver. Check refurbs at http://www.shoponkyo.com. They have the TX-SR707 and TX-SR806 for $599 at the moment and I don't think you pay either tax or shipping. Satisfied customer. Dr. Hsu helped design the initial Outlaw subs, but I don't know if that collaboration continued into the new lines. Consider the Hsu STF-2 ($349!) or VTF-2 also. I wouldn't hesitate to get a sub from Elemental Designs; they are developing an excellent reputation, and have been continuously upgrading their products and processes. Enjoy the journey!

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the eD sub Rick. I have wanted to order one ever since I started my sub searching but the costs and hassle to import them uphere prevented me from picking one up, it was so much easier to go through a dealer up here for the SVS. I am now wanting to order one of Ed's DIY sub Kits

Huh. So the consensus I'm getting is this...
UltraSuck or NoBonus:
- Denon 689/1709 (3x HDMI Input)
- M22s
- center: later
- Surrounds: later
- Sub: Outlaw LFM-1 Plus
QuasiSuck
- Denon 689/1709 (3x HDMI Input)
- M22s
- VP100
- QS4s
- Sub: Outlaw LFM-1 Plus
Middle of the road... option time!
- Denon 689/1709 (3x HDMI Input)
- M22s
- VP100
- QS4s (QS8s if possible)
- Sub: Outlaw LFM-1 Plus
Mind Bending Bonus
- Denon 2809/989 (Pre-Amp Outs)
- M22s
- VP150
- QS8s
- Outlaw LFM 1 EX
If you go to Denon.com, they list their resellers, including the B-Stock outlet. (I won't mention them by name for fear of getting "No advertising on the board!"). They have pretty much every Denon AVR sold in the last 5 years or more:
- 689/1709 for $190 (USD)
- 989/2809 for $530 (USD)
Looking at the UltraSuck option, it seems I'll likely be able to do that regardless of Bonus especially if I'm willing to look at a 10" Sub. Anyone want to offer opinions on 10s? Right now I'm thinking I'll go straight to the 12" for the extra LFE.
Thanks

M22s, M22s, M22s and M22s! That sounds about right!
For the rest, your budget progression is quite alright and should make you very happy.

For HT use you are definately better off sticking with a 12" sub IMO.
