If i were to use Lsi 9's for mains...what would U USE that would cost under 1500 dollars as an amp, preamp, receiver, etc etc...what woul du use?

To be completely honest, it all depends on what deals you can find.

For amps- look at the lower grade models from Carver, B&K, NAD, Rotel, etc.

Pre-Amps... same company. Though for $107.00 I highly recommend the AMC 1100 pre-amp :)

Consider a new cd source.....be it a high end cd player or a sacd player

You wont need to spend an ungodly amount of money on those things. Keep at least $300-400 left over for your speaker wire and interconnects.

For that budget, man, you can get an AWESOME system...

For $300, if I look at the best deals I ever made, and it could take awhile to find deals like this, I would use the Luxman CD player with tube output I found for $99 with no remote found at a blowout sale and the $200 dollar 200 watt per channel Soundcraftsmen amp which an ebay seller bought a bulk load of then refurbished. It can be done if you are willing to do the looking and take your chances! BTW, the $99 Luxman is still my CD player of choice which I have used everyday for the last 5 years.

parasound amps can often be found on the cheap.
I had an 750 that I picked up for $200 which can drive 4Ohm
and knocked the socks off my 800is.
