Replacing from Hurricane Sandy

So I'm to the point where I am replacing my gear from the hurricane. I've been a Rotel,B&W user for the last 15 or so years. I had the RSP-1570 with an older RMB-985 amp. I was using a Pioneer Elite 1st gen bluray player. My speakers which survived are pair of CDM2 w a CC6 center. I had a asw600 sub. I just bought the Samsung 6500series 65" 3d HDTV.

So, I'm open to suggestions on replacements and recommendations.

Thanks

Keith

I uses Revel B15 sub in a room far larger than yours and it is amazing. You can optionally consider 2 subs but it may kill your budget.

I have a Lexicon running my main HT setup but I use an Emotiva x-100a mini for my zone 2 and zone 3.

Kal in stereophile gave the larger Emotivas a spin in his Stereophile column and they were well reviewed. Just a suggestion since you have a free in home.

Ordered the Oppo and bought a b&w asw610 from a member. I had good experiences w my 600 in the room so I stuck w it. I'm leaning towards the Emotiva, but the back order may put me into almost April.

I'd second the Outlaw amp suggestion. I had an Emotiva XPA series amp, and had a sibilance issue with some cds. I've heard that B&W speakers can be more forward than laid back and with my Paradigm Sig 6 it was the same. I do have an Outlaw 7125 as well and I prefer it to the Emotiva house sound.
