Killer system bro! I'm still stuck on old stereo with an active crossover to a subwoofer. I haven't integrated my video into the system, other that just running my TV into the stereo/sub via a pre amp input.

I am using a Van Alstine preamp to an active crossover to a SUMO Nine for my mains and a SUMO ANdromeda II (bridged) to my homemade Sub (W/ NHT 1253? long throw speaker)

Sources are a CAL California Audio lab MkII cd player, FM tuner changes every 4 to 6 months. (I buy and sell tuners on ebay 2 or 3 times a year) Tuners are my collecting hobbie these days. Lateley I have been switching between a Marantz 20, Sony 5000fw and a Technics st-9030. It's hard to beat the old tuners with anything made today.
