Thanks Kal, I am leaning towards the MAP-1 and a Marantz DV9600 universal player. Not sure yet on 5 equal speakers (maybe Dynaudio) or amplifier. Would like a Bryston 9BSST but it is out of my budget. Also thinking of not using a subwoofer at all.

I tried to do without a sub a long time ago playing with the DTS version of the "Haunting" at too high a volume level; fortunately, the amp cried Uncle before multiple 12" woofers in my main speakers were blown.
