I have a few more questions and I figured it would be easiest to list them all here, instead of a bunch of seperate threads:
I definately want a high quality amp and pre/amp. I guess I'll invest in a decent amp first, and later on I'll get a nice preamp to go with it. I think I can use my existing Yamaha Receiver as the preamp for now and then get rid of it down the line.
IF I wanted to bi amp my Aerius i speakers, I would need a multi channel amp, or a bunch of monoblock amps for that. I don't think I can afford 4 high quality monoblock amps (few can, I'd imagine) so it's probably easiest to go with a good multichannel amp if I wanted to biamp.
Do many of you guys go that road? A few people recommended that I go with the Krell 400xi integrated amp. I would not be able to biamp with this particular Krell, right? Because it has just two channels
To me, it would seem that a multichannel amp offers more flexibilty, correct? If I want to biamp, I can do it.
Or, if biamping is overrated, would a really good two channel amp, or 2 channel integrated amp be the way to go?

Line conditioners...
You can spend a small fortune on line conditioners. Do you guys advocate using this equipment? I know panamax and monster make some decent line conditioning equipment.
That brings me to speaker cables. This is yet another underrated, but very important topic and it's possible drop a bundle of money on quality cables. Can high end cables also do the same job as the line conditioners mentioned above? That might be a really stupid question and I apologize if it is.
What types of speaker cables do you recommend?

Subwoofers:
I'll make this quick. I'd love to buy a ML Sub. I am sure they are terrific, but are there any good subs for less than $500, say. How about the subs over HSU research? He's known for producing pretty good subs at a nice price.
