If you have plans to add on surrounds and sub later , are you sure you about going for a stereo amp? ..You need a multichannel amp or AVR ,unless you are planning to buy/upgrade to an AVR later.

From your selections I like CA and MS combo better.

CA and MS combo will sound better since they are both coming from the same company virtually and are better tuned to work in unison.

In fact I am selling my Polk Audio floorstanders to buy Aviano2s, for my CA 550A.

If you like signature of Denon then why is denon not in the list?

You said you are going to add AVR later on. Its quite confusing. Are you going to build HT setup around this one? In that case buy AVR.

If you are planning to make a separate setup then we can carry on discussion further on your choice.

By referring to Denon's signature, I mean The AVR whch wd be added later on..
now concentrating only on 2channel setup...
to go with WD 9.2i or 9.5 or MS AVIANO 2..
I will buy the avr llater (say after a year or so.) till now drive d speakers in Stereo mode with a sony cd player, mp3-player with dock,, nd also connect d dvd player to d stereo amp and AT LEAST enjoy d movies in 2 channel mode.
Later I can gt a speaker two-way-switch ,,, so while playing movies avr drives d fronts nd surrounds,center etc...
and when I wish to play music use d stereo amp and only d fronts..

You have a big room with nice ceiling height, I will suggest Wharf 9.5 over Aviano 2. It should not happen that tomorrow you don't get the kick just because you are sitting on the far end of the room....

I will strongly suggest you to audition the Wharf 9.5 and Aviano 2 once again before you sign that cheque....

I've heard MS Aviano (Bookshelf) - Marantz PM5003 - CD5003 combo yesterday. Very good combination if you like forward sounding setup with a lot of details. I've not heard wharfs so cannot comment but what I heard is that wharfs do not hold a candle to MS Avianos.

You may PM murali_n who has the Marantz -Aviano setup.
