My set-up is in a transition, as I am moving away from the "bells and whistles" and focusing on my new theory of "less is more." I plan on selling my Sony ES Pre/Pro and 5-Channel amp for Bryston's SP1.7 and 5B-ST.
Agree -dump monster cable, AND PANAMAX (get high end). have owned almost exact speaker config and I think you can get more musical and detailed sound at same price (I use for HT too, which IS paradigm strength, so no hurry and purely taste). Nice system.
looks to me as though you have a good set up but i would move away from using any monster cable at all i think its a step down from the kimber or some others in the price range. i bet it sounds good as you are a 50/50 for music and movies as am i, the balance will become a never ending compromise and struggle. also maybe look at the sony dvd and preamp as next upgrades. trent
