EAD PM 2000 or Theta Dread?

I currently have the Signature and the a 20amp PM2000. I too am 75% music and 25% movies. I have heard the Dreadnought with my speakers which currently both the Aerial 10T's and Magnapan 3.5R. The Dreadnought is a fine 5 channel amp and few can dispute that, but so is the PM2000! Your biggest improvement would not be in changing your amp, but in your speakers. The Def. Tech are great HT speakers, but not in the same level as your amp and processor.

I have also played with a tube preamp and it does add another level of enjoyment to music.

Just my thoughts.

Boy Dave now you have opened the flood gates!!

You'll have suggestions up the wazzoo, but your room size and placement issue will need to be mentioned. Of course the all important $$$. Do you have a sub. I mean the Def. have a built in that problably negates the need for one in your current system. The PM2000 seemed overkill for powering the top end of the Def. 2000 you have.

Check in frequently also take some time over the weekend and look up some threads. It can get ugly.

Most of all enjoy the music. You never really get their, just enjoy the ride.
