I'm not sure what I need


This is my television sound system

KEF LS50 left and right speakers

KEF matching center speaker

Parasound Halo A3 3 channel power amplifier

Here is the part I need help with..... For a preamp/controller/processor I'm using an OPPO 105D and its starting to have issues. I would like to make an improvement in my system but I don't know just what I need. I use this system for 95% television and about 5% for music.

I should have mentioned that I plan to keep it just a right/left/center speaker maybe a sub situation.  So it appears it is a processor I need. Since I only need three channels what would be some suggestions of units that would work for me?

 

 

I don't have a budget. I just figured the speakers were about $2200 and the amp $3000 so I should spend something similar. I will look at those pieces. Thanks.

I see both pieces are for sale in the classifieds. Would I notice the Krell sounding significantly better than the Anthem while watching TV? Does the Krell have some feature the Anthem doesn't have? Is the build quality that much better? It definitely looks better. 

BTW, I very much appreciate the help!

The KC62s look very good. I'm considering them as well as the REL T7s. 

My room is 14'x16' with an 11' height. Do you think one sub will do it or do I need two?

Thanks. I think I will do that.

I installed the anthem in my system and now I need to connect the oppo to it. Do I do this by HDMI out from the oppo to in on the AVM?

I now have an Anthem AVM 60 on the way and I expect to be very happy with it. I really appreciate the responses. You guys were a lot of help. I really didn’t have a clue what to get.

Now I’m thinking of adding a sub or subs to this system. It’s in a bedroom with limited space so consider that. What would be an appropriate size sub to add to this system? I use it for television and almost no music. Would adding a sub improve the overall listening experience significantly?
