Perhaps think about getting an ARCAM AVR 850 and adding a center channel speaker and two rear surround speakers. Whey you switch to two channel there is plenty of clean power as the first 50 watts are pure A.
Adding Home Theater To 2 Channel System
I have a two channel system that I am very happy with located in a dedicated listening room. I am considering how to add home theater without giving up the two channel sound that I enjoy. My main speakers are Avantgarde UNO’s (horn speakers - 18 ohm, 108 db sensitivity). Avantgarde does not make a center channel speaker. I assume that I will have a problem matching any box speaker center channel speaker with the Avantgarde - my worry is incoherent sound. Is this something I should worry about? Are there center channel speakers that might be a good match (I have been unable to find any obvious candidates ohm/sensitivity match)? Is it likely that I will need to find a new set of front speakers from the same brand as the center speaker?
