Some one locally had a set of B&W 684 S1s and an HTM61 S1 for $500. I'm looking up upgrade from some somewhat vintage altec lansing 105 bookshelf's. 75% listening to music. I have a garbage polk sub for now that may get replaced eventually. Is it dumb to buy the B&Ws at that price? I'm having trouble figuring out if its a good deal or not. I understand they are a bit brighter sounding of speakers (I assume maybe Grado esque?). I like music with bass from time to time but I imagine my sub can still cover that being that I've been happy with my old altec lansings.

I picked up some Monitor Audio Bronze 5 towers the other day for $200. I currently don't have have a sub and listening to these for a little, I really like them but I need a sub. Some one locally has an F12 for $100 so I figurer that's an easy trigger to pull. My next question is once I'm there and have a really unbalanced system, should I consider changing up my amplification set up from the old sony receiver I picked up years ago at a garage sale? I figure something like a Minidsp DDRC-24 and a 2 channel amp? Where I'm getting lost is figuring out how to rationalize all the inputs. I dont really want to spend boat loads of money on a budget set up, but DSPs sound like a really good way to fix hardware problems with software.  I'm not sure I'm clear on how I would be able to run all my inputs through the DSP and then out through an amplifier. If I went with an AVR I think it would clearly handle all the inputs, and let the TV control volume which would be nice, but Im not sure how to loop the miniDSP with that.
