i think you're right in considering emotiva. i own two UPA 1s, and i like them alot, a great bang for the buck. i noticed the emotiva website isn't selling the UPA 1s anymore, but i suspect they'll be back soon.so if i went that route i'd buy an emotiva USP 1 preamp and two UPA 1 mono blocks. for speakers i might also try the polk audio rti a9. they're $1500 a pair, but i've never heard them so i can't really say. good luck. people seam to say good things about the oppo bdp 95 too for a $1000 cd player.

The polks are certainly cheaper but I almost refuse to buy any electronics you can buy from best buy I was thinking about about focal not sure how they compare to paradigm or paradigm thinking either signature s8 towers or maybe the monitor line although I'm open to any suggestions i was also looking at b&w speakers and I'm really interested in the integra dtr-80.3 reviver
