Update: Finally got a Yamaha RX-V663 AV Receiver hooked up in the chain. BluRay Player hooked up to HDMI in #1 and Direct TV into #2 . Pre-outs front left and right into the Peavey 215EQ then into the Behringer CX2310 crossover, low frequency to the Yamaha HTR-5760 receiver's front left and right component input and the highs into the left and right surround. The center channel from the RX-V663 pre out directly into the 5760's center input and the 663's LFE into the Soundcraftsmen's SP4000 pre-amp and then to the Crown DC300A.
Amazingly it all works. I have only watched one DVD and one music CD, and without much time to tweak the settings and barely able to use or understand the Yamaha's menu settings, things sound pretty good. DVDs voices are intelligible and the music and special effects are under control. Music CDs sound OK and are what I am most worried about getting right.
Listening to Return to Forever "Romantic Warrior" and volume on the 633 pre-amp receiver is at -5.0db and the 5760 power amp receiver is at 0.0db. Don't have my DB meter on hand, but it is pretty loud.
One odd thing is that in order to get the TV to handshake with the DirecTV box, I have to have the Samsung BR player turned on even though I have input on the 633 set to the DirecTV box.
Unfortunately, the seller on ebay packed the receiver poorly and it arrived with the bottom row of screw speaker terminals all bent. I have straightened them out somewhat, but I will have to open it up to get every thing up to snuff.
Now to see if I can turn off the awful announcers blabbering during a Nascar race and just listen to the racetrack soundtrack and it will all be worth it.

Hey Cradeldorf, where the heck are you, I've got the world's greatest under $2650 sound system ever for you to listen to. Talk to me, I dare you to show up.

Whoa there Vovo! If you get those two others, you're gonna need a bigger room and screen! You might as well look for a projector and the screen too!
They look like awesome monitors, especially if you use them for LCR purposes!
