Hi Michael,

As to the RC5000, check Daniel's faq on the site here. It's very informative. As well as the forum.

As to components, I've gone over to separates and like what I hear. Parasound equipment is quite nice. I have the AVC 2500 pre-amp/tuner/processor and am very happy with it.The AVC 1800 A/V Doc mentioned is it's brand new little brother, so should very capable. And their amps are highly rated.
