The setup the Sony HT A9 will replace is comprised a Bryston SP3 that sends front LR to an Ayre KX-5 Twenty preamp bypass, VX-5 Twenty amp, a pair of KEF Reference 1s. Four LS50s are mounted around the walls. A pair of Velodyne HGS-15s below 80 Hz. I almost never use this setup. The HT A9 will be on every time the 85" Sony is on, i.e. dailey. I've come to realize our AV setups should match our usage. I'm replacing a LS50 W2 in the living room with a LS60 because that's where we listen to music. I'm completely committed to the convenience of Roon and my laptop.
