2 channel + HT suggestions


Hi All - I’m limited to one room for my set up so I needed to solve for two channel and HT.  For this reason I went with a krell theatre 7 HD for my amp, which I now know is the weak link. The rest of my system includes PS Audio BHK pre (ht pass through) PS Audio DSD, Roon into Matrix into DSD, B&W 805 D3 + Rel sub.  
 

i’m fairly set on a pass labs 250.8, which gives me optionality to scale a 2 channel room later with larger speakers, but for the current set up I then need to solve for the center channel.  I’m only running 3 channels so the Krell is useless. What are your thoughts on powering the center channel?

Thanks everyone.  Don’t get me wrong, the krell is very good, and my system sounds great with no problems. I jumped into this hobby 3 years ago, and the more I’ve learned, I guess I have developed fomo as to what my 2 channel sound could be with a stereo amp or monoblocks.  Maybe the better question is what amp(s) would you recommend for my system to get the best 2 channel sound, and have 3 channels? 

Thanks, everyone. Appreciate the suggestions and insight. I think I have a plan. If I go with an integrated, like a pass labs, is the BHK Preamp no longer needed?
