appreciate the thoughts on Adcom....in the process of re-setting up after a move (NJ to TX). Best set-up due to space restrictions does not allow rear access to equipment (can not convince my wife that no one will notice the hole in the kitchen wall).....that leaves me with a massive wire management problem....5 wires from amp to pre/pro plus 5 speaker wires, 6 wires from pre/pro to DVD (SACD), component out DVD, component out HDTV, S-video (4) out NSTC, LD, VCR, out from pre/pro to projector. Audio (1) optical out from DVD, coax out from HDTV, left/right out from reg tv, LD, VCR. 7 power plugs.....at least 34 wires (what did I forget)...no matter how I try it looks like hell....I will not go into the dumb mistakes I have made so far. Despite my lack of finesse I love the challenge.
