I am heavy on music than movies. Having owned a Polk for over a decade, wanted a significant upgrade. After hours of auditioning an number of speakers and reading numerous reviews was unable to select between Martin Logan and B&Ws. I liked the style and sound of both. During a visit to BestBuy, spotted a open-box CM 10 S2 on a good deal and so thought of giving it a try. I loved them so much I returned them and ordered brand new. The speakers are very sensitive and the acoustics of the room affects the quality of sound a lot. These speakers need a big room and a powerful amplifier. I was blown away in a showroom paired with Peachtree audio nova220se. Tried it at home and didnt work for me. My room is small and truly these speakers are a overkill. Registered the product online reported the issue and asked for suggestions and B&W quicky responded saying either I would have to fix the acoustics of the room or get a amplifier with room correction. They also recommended Bi-amping the speakers. Paired with Marantz SR5010 and after bi-amping and running Audyssay its sonic heaven. I do run it at almost full volume and is just enough for my 15 X 18 room. You would need a bigger amp for larger rooms.
This Marantz SR5010 home theater receiver offers built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for simple streaming. Includes HDMI 4K Ultra HD and 3D pass-through technologies for compatibility with 3D TVs, Blu-ray players and gaming consoles and 4K Ultra HD TVs.

Music or Movies. This receiver shines. After auditioning all the receivers Magnolia had (Denon, Pioneer, Yamaha, Marantz) it was easy to narrow down to Marantz. Although I loved the SR7010 went with SR5010 to make my wallet/wife happy. One of the main reason to select this receiver was that it has 2 HDMI outs so that I can connect both TV and projector to it. The CM10s with 300watts are pretty hard to drive. I run it at almost full volume and there is no distortion. The Audyssay room correction did a great job working around the room acoustics issue.

Awesome DAC. I used it to connect my Mac Mini to the receiver. My receiver ran out of optical inputs and hence had to resort to external DAC since connecting with RCA sounded really bad. Solid build and plug and play (with mac).

I have owned Harmony remotes (900, Ultimate) for the past 6 yrs and am a huge fan. Controls pretty much anything you throw at it. PS3, Roku, Nest, Hue etc. I got the Ultimate for my living room of 3 yrs ago and my whole family loved it. Although initially my wife couldnt get the idea of buying a $300 remote when you get universal remotes for $10. My then 2 yr old was able to switch sources, turn on TV and select pbs kids channel with ease without having to juggle between 3 remotes. The price of Ultimate home dropped right in time when I was building my home theater and had no hesitation grabbing it. Moreover I prefer the shape of Ultimate over the Elite. I dont see a huge difference between the Ultimate and Ultimate Home (other than the firmware). The Ultimate Home is noticeably slower than the Ultimate (Doesnt bother me but might some). Only issue I had with the Ultimate was that the pairing with PS3 fails quite often. Not sure if it is an issue with PS3 or the remote. The silverlight based web interface to setup the remote is a pain. I still do that cos I hate to do it in smartphone.

Expensive but totally cool. Got the starter pack and am loving it. App functionality is very limited and have to get 3rd party apps even for simple things like sync to music/movies frustrates me.
