Sonus Faber Elipsa

I had an opportunity to hear the brand new Speaker from Sonus Faber a week or so ago. They are on Display in Downtown Palo Alto. THe Elipsa, from what I have read, has a driver from the Stradivari Homage speaker, and a completely new Midrange. The Soundstage is amazing. The store had them hooked up With McIntosh 501 monoblocks, a C46 and a MCD201 cd player. Has anyone else heard these speakers?

Need advice for Brand New System

Here is the deal - total newby here. Haven't been a stereo junkie in about 15 years and am therefore clueless looking at all the options. Doing the basement in the new home and need to set up a home theater as well as sound in various other rooms. Planning to spend around 3500-4000 for the stereo system (this price is variable).
