Home Theater Preamp/amp advice.
I have a Rotel 1075/Onkyo PR SC886 combo. I bought the Onkyo new from Outlaw audio and the Rotel used off of Audiogon. Right in you price range. Since my basement theater is being worked on, I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet. 
processor that could serve as a good preamp
Outlaw had the Onkyo PR SC886 for under 1500. I going to use this with a Rotel 1075 amp. Room is under construction so I will be a few weeks before I can enjoy listening to them. 
Totem Speakers and Home Theater
Just a follow up. The RMB was 600 and in perfect shape and I recently pickeup a Denon AVR 4800 for around 300. While the Denon does not have HDMI switching you are able to use 8 RCAs and let the Blu ray decode. Within you budget and a nice setup.W... 
Totem Speakers and Home Theater
I have a setup using Mite T and TC upfront and mites for the surrounds. Powered with a Rotel RMB 1075 and Denon AVR 3600. Sound improved quite a bit when I added the Rotel amp. Very happy with the setup but will so dump the Denon and go to a Onkyo... 
Best Surround Reciever Under $500 used
I picked up a Denon AVR 4800 for 250. While you can't used HDMI, it is 7.1 so you can use RCA. Hard to beat for the price. 
stands for quad 11L or 12L series1or 2
If you have access to a table saw and router, you can make your own. Low cost and will look great.

Recommendation Lindley/Ry Cooder
I downloaded a 7-6-95 show off of sharing the groove. Crystal clear recording. Two big thumbs up 
Ascend Acoustics vs. Totem Dreamcatcher
I have mite- t and mite-tc up front and mites for the rear. I'm very happy with the setup. 
Guitar Solos
Machine gun- off the Hendrix Band of Gypsys 
Center Channels sound crappy
I had a KEF reference 100 center working with Totem Mite T and it sounded crappy. Replaced it with a Totem Mite TC and the sound improve greatly 
Blues /rock: music recommendations?
I'll second the mule. A related band that really cranks is blue floyd. Allen Woody and Matt Abts form the core with help from Marc Ford . Warren plays on Money. Both the 1/31/00 and 1/15/00 shows are great. 
The Best Live album
Lokie,wall of sound was 74 dead. That said, the majority of 77 is excellent. I would suggest you listen to the dick's picks with the Lakeland show.
