Sweet system Thyname!

... then I'd need to buy an expensive Rotel surround processor, more speaker cables, interconnects a quality Rotel dVD player, all what you mentioned, etc... can you imagine what all those cost. My fiance would kill me!!

As an experiment with your movie of choice, replace the front set of the "dream" system HTIB speaker system with the M60's with all of the other speakers in place, re-calibrate and listen to a movie that way...or better yet, remove the center from the setup altogether and let the M60's act as a phantom center...
You will be greatly suprised and don't really have to wait to enjoy the M60's with movies...
BTW: Cool looking system...

Guys!! don't give me ideas!! it is already a lot of money!! Besides I care a lot for music as I really believe that a good system makes a big difference. For movies I can survive with my HTIB for now, I live in an apt. and the bass required to watch a good movie will make my neigbors complain a lot.
BTW, I like Rotel RSP 1098 7.1 processor better with mrsp of $3000. But it will require Rotel power amp such as RMB 1095 that costs an extra 2k. Have you ever seen or auditioned RSP 1098? it is so gorgeos!!!

I was going to ask that.
Thyname, great looking system, and just ask the neighbors over and then they may not complain.

Oops. Yep...that's the VP150 price.
I've not seen the RSP-1098, though I've heard good things about it. I have the 1066 with the 1075 amp and it's terrific. Both can be found used for really good prices, that's why I pointed them out. The 1098/1095 combo is Rotel's top-o-the-line models. Very pricey indeed.
I'll be keeping the Rotel gear I have now until HD-DVD players are out. At that time I'll likely get a player and a new processor. But that's a long ways off. (thank god!)
