Proceed AVP or Meridian 561?


Hello all. I'm new here and am going to start building an HT system. Currently have no surround processor and am intrigued by the above 2 units. Hoping to pick one up used. I also have an old Bryston 3B amp and .5B preamp running a pair of NHT 2.5's. Where do I start? Use the 3B? Buy a new 5 channel amp? Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

Long time ago I had the NHT 2.5 and AVP, was a nice combo, but had an ATI amp.

I cannot speak on the meridian, but if you are also a music fan, the AVP has superb 2 chn DACs with analog by-pass and now can decode 96/24. Make sure you get the AVP with the S-VIDEO option as there are a few out there used without that option.
