OK everyone...I went ahead and bought the Denon DVD 2900. So now as it stands, my setup is as follows:

Speakers: LSi25's
NAD T763 Reciever (used as a preamp for now)
Rotel RB 1080 2 channel amplifier
Denon DVD 2900 DVD/SACD/DVD-A/CD Player

All connected using Monster interconnects and Monster Speaker and Subwoofer Cables.

So now my question is: Now that I have all the components I want, which cables should I look into to replace my Monsters? I have read many people on here using Audioquest. Let me know what you think I should use. I would really like to get the most out of the Denon, especially for music. And yes, I know, at some point I should get a dedicated pre-amp. I will use the NAD for now as I'm planning on completing a all LSi HT setup sometime this summer. Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

    Save your money for that pre-amp and continue to use the monster cables

    I have to agree that getting a new pre amp should be next on your list, then dump the Monster cable for something better.

    Here's my thoughts on Monster if I haven't stated them before:
    -Monster has inferior product compared to things in the same price range. This has been shown with listening tests and electrical tests many times.
    -Monster is everything you want to hate in a big corporation. They have been "sue-happy" with anything that has the word "Monster" in it. Monsters Inc (the movie)? Sued and later retracted. Monster's Workshop on Sesame Street? Sued. The list goes on and on. Its sickening.
