Thanks for the info. I am driving Dynaudio 1.8 MKII's and am wondering if I even need to have a surround amp. My rears currently are Bose 201's (may upgrade later) and my receiver will need to be upgraded later as well (to a preamp/processor). Perhaps the 250a or the Bryston 4B-ST would be a better way to go just to push the Danes in two channel. I do like HT alot. HMMMMM.
