"My 2 channel system will stay pure and not go through the processor."
Ok first of all, this is your biggest obstacle to a successful system. I'm not sure I see where the purity is or why so.....
Let me ask you a question , do you think that a JR Synergy and 588 CDplayer sound better than a G68 processor? Remember the G68 has a better DtoA process than the 88 and Synergy can't do much more than degrade the sound and the extra interconnects won't help much either. Might be that the G68 is the purer simpler system. Plus once you have trifield the thought of two channel playback of digital sources might give you mild amusement. maybe.
Once you answer that question above the rest is academic, get Vienna (bach's?) rears(official surround system), get the sub (boom!) and then the matching Vienna Center Center. Do yourself a favor and don't buy the "sort of" dissappointing multi-channel amps Classe makes, get Audio Refinement, Anthem, Arcam all will serve you very well and cost less as a bonus.
PS: I know how hard it is to shelve the Rowland its very good looking peice. But it is superfluous if you don't have a TT in this system.
