HDCD compatible?
My cdp doesnt play HDCD but my Rotel pro decodes it, but I use my tube pre for music so the benefit of HDCD is negated by the Rotel not up to par with my Sonic Frontiers pre, I do check for HDCD and I have discs not marked wich the Rotel displays ... 
how long to wait for 1080p plasma?
My dad just purchased the Panasonic 58 plasma, it looks really great....1080p if and when it comes out in that size will for one thing be pretty expensive but should also bring the 58' 720p displays down in price.

Not that I am aware of, call Parasound then look for used. 
Is there any stat speaker to stick on the wall?
Yes Magnepan's model is great for a budget speaker, they only sell internet direct but you can do 6 surrounds and a center for I think $1200 get an HSU Research sub and amps that have some power, and everyone is happy. Martin Logan also makes wall...

Tuners which one is better ?
My tuner is best, you know the Luxman T117...its the best Bob, dont bother asking, it was spawn from the Tuner Gods the day before they rested. Its clearly the best because you traded me for the Parasound hehehehe. 
How high do subs go
My speakers midrange starts at 110hz (VMPS FF3SRE) I cant help but think of the "Bose Woes", those little cubes only respond to something like that. Bose has a habbit of not making their specs as easy to find as almost any other speaker in the wor... 
musical fidelity tube buffer
You may want to list what your gear that you want to use it with to get an accurate opinion on its benefit or negative influence for your needs. My friend in our audio club has used one for years and he likes it. 
why are most new releases going to four sides?
Buy the vinyl and get into recording your tittles to CD, then you have a great vinyl and also a better sounding digital copy for when you dont want all the fuss. You will have the best of both worlds. 
Adding a sub to a 2 channel stereo?
I would look into sealed subs if possible, HSU is a great brand for the buck and I owned one for a couple years but it may be too slow for a music application. 
Can I Bi-amp speakers with single surround amp?
Use the spare channel to give power to some "Bass Shakers" from Aura (I think), mount them under you couch for slight vibration when the sub info is sent, its pretty cool and my friend has them in his theater, I have 4 but have never installed the...

Wow pretty ambitious system for a "Newbie"!! Mac is great and you have synergy if you keep your amp, Lexicon is a great piece for HT also look at Anthem. What size is your room? (with a 7 channel amp you could go 7.1 if your room is medium/large t... 
how to put center channel voices in rear speakers
