Been an avid HT listener


I have been an avid HT listener and have not perused integrate amps

But lost my center channel on my old Rotel 5 channel amp and have been using the 2-channel option

I find it more enjoyable and both music and TV are coming in more clear and the voices are more understandable. I'm not straining to hear midrange vocals

So my question is if I pursue this what integrated amp should I check out that gives me the vocal range and also the sub range. I have been looking at the Marantz Cinema 60 ut it may be more than I need. Looking at a Stereo receiver that will be a balance between music and still give me great sound with movies. Is there such a peice of equipment that can satisfy both music and movies?

Agree with others that your center speaker may be the problem, and many of them are not very good IME especially those prevalent MTM designs without a dedicated midrange driver. 

I don’t really understand the question.  A good dedicated stereo integrated amp will do well for movies and better for music.  An AVR is a bad idea if 2-channel performance is important.
