I auditioned the AVP and HPA3 in my home and it was slightly better than what I had at the time. Several months later I bought an EAD Ovation Plus processor and EAD PM 2000 amp which was about the same money but a substantial upgrade. IMHO Proceed gear is overpriced for what you get.
Anything better than Proceed?
I have been looking at amplifiers and preamps for home theater for quite a while now. After much thought it seems that there isn't much better than the proceed AVP and the HPA 2/3 amps for home theater system. If anyone has any thoughts as to better systems for the same or less money I would appreciate suggestions.
