I have to assemble a small (13'L x 12'W x 14'H) audio video room in a second home. I prefer two speakers to multiple speakers. I want simplicity, not complexity. All of you know much more than I do.

I can move two older Meridian (unmodified)D5000 speakers and a Meridian 500 transport to use for music CD audio and for movie DVD audio.

Would two new DSP5200's represent much of an improvement? Could I still use the old 500 transport? What would be a good new transport? Would an Arcam DV29 work as a transport to the Meridians (as well as a Video source for a Sony Bravia V40)?

Any help on any or all of the above would be much appreciated. Thanks.

David
