Funny name for a thread... hehehe. Guess Im not the only one moving forward to building the best system we can dream up..
With regards to your preamp question... I've had a MX121/MC205/B&W805D2s HT combo for a couple of years now, sounded awesome and felt I needed nothing else. That was until I got a dedicated 2 channel system with a D1100/(2)MC275s/B&W803D2s.
It is amazing how much better it sounds with a preamp, its like another brand/system all together. So if you can go the extra mile, I would suggest to go for it.
I'm in the process of going for a C2600/MC452 for another room. I've read that a tube preamp with a SS amp is amazing.
One final comment. Since your building the house, make sure you get a good 10 gauge dedicated line to where your placing the equipment. I haven't been able to compare it yet as that is where the C2600/MC452 will reside. But Ive read that its a game changer.
Good luck!! Hope my suggestions help in any way.
