Congrats Plinko. I hope you enjoy everything. Let us know. And, when you get things set up, post pics if you're able.

Thanks Ajax (Jack)! I'll try to get some pics up after I move into our house. For now, its just a temporary makeshift setup in our apartment. Yes, I couldn't wait until we moved much to the chagrin of my girlfriend. : )
Also, I got the Pioneer 563 player from Crutchfield. I've read bad things including an article from one of the audio review sites (not to mention this board). I'll report back. I just wanted something inexpensive to hold me over for a year or two.

Keep your fingers crossed on the 563. Some have had no problems whatsoever with them. Hopefully you'll be one of them.

I plan to give it a hefty workout for a couple of weeks (gonna borrow some friend's sacds and dvd audios). If problems, I'll send it back. The article I read mentioned a specific cd that wouldn't play. I'd like to get my hands on a copy out of curiousity.
I'm starting to feel sentimental about my equipment search. It was so much fun!

Don't worry, it's not over! It's called "Upgradeitis" and just about everyone on this board is afflicted with it.
You should definitely enjoy that system. The M22's rock. I had the 563 for a short time, and returned it for the Denon 2200. It sounds like the Denon would be out of your price range, so the 563 should be fine. It was not a bad unit, I just wanted more. Good luck with your new system.

Ok... You're ugly, and your mother dresses you funny.
Now that I'm done being unfettered, that should be one heck of a nice system. I hope you enjoy it very much!
Live long and prosper.

ha!
I just got done setting up M22s and sub for a little stereo listening. Very nice. I haven't done any serious calibration or anything and probably won't - moving to our first house in a month. Besides everything else, the SACDs sound really really good. Do I hang the surrounds for for about one month or just let them sit in the box?
Best stuff I ever bought.
