@carlsbad2 Wow! That must be quite an amp — congrats. Is it by chance a Berning design? I figured you were using the Lampi as a pre for 2-channel. Have you ever considered or tried using a good stereo pre? Just curious.
Anthem MRX 740 8K as an upgrade to my Denon AVR-X3700H
I have a 7.2 system. I drive my front speakers using pre-out to my 2 channel system amp that drives my 2 channel system speakers. I have 2 more sets of floorstanders for side and rear. 2 self powered subs. Pretty happy with the system.
Thinking of the upgrade in the subject. I'm much more well versed in 2 channel sound than AV systems and would appreciate comments.
I like the same things in theatre however, clear, accurate, and powerful, and dynamic.
For a streamer, are there better options than my LG smart TV delivered to my HT receiver via ARC? I don't see any discussion of HT specific streamers/decoders.

@carlsbad2 What are you using as a preamp into the Decware Zen? |
Not running at all, just no desire to waste my time on nothing nor to unnecessarily derail the OP’s thread any further. If you wanna flesh this out more I’d encourage you to start a new thread entitled “Prepros smack all your 2 channel purist gear for music” and see how that works out for you there. Peace out. |
@deep_333 I learned a long time ago not to wrestle in the mud with a pig because the pig likes it, so we’ll just agree to disagree on this and go on with life as we see fit. To each his own. |
@deep_333 Keep deluding yourself that a Jack of all trades, master of nothing prepro built to a price point with lesser parts quality, power supplies, etc. and loaded with all manner of digital/circuit noise somehow magically sounds better than a similarly-priced, purpose-built stereo component with better parts and less noise. It makes absolutely no sense from an engineering/design or common sense perspective whatsoever, and you’re on an island of one here that prepros “smack all your 2 channel purist gear for music.” Ever see any manufacturer/dealer use a prepro in a system at a high-end audio show? Ever wonder why almost nobody here with a decent stereo system uses a prepro? The answer is patently obvious to all but you. Stick with your multifunction noise bucket a continue to fool yourself. The other is for people, and the vast majority here, who care much more about sound quality than technical prowess. |
