Recommended receiver for HT


I plan to downsize from Bryston SP-3 processor and Parasound amps to a single receiver for HT. The speakers would be KEF T301 fronts; LS50s are side and rear; subs are pairs of Velodyne HGS-15s and HGS-10s with SMS-1 bass management. Sources are Cox TV, Ayre DX-5 DSD, and perhaps Oppo 205 or 105D. Stereo music is a separate setup. I’ve been out of the receiver market for decades, so I’m seeking recommendations for a used receiver at moderate cost.

I applaud, congratulate, and commend you for asking a question hear about something that you do not fully and completely understand and pursuing, exploring, and studying the qualitys, nature, and application of Tru-Fi is certain to result in you achieving a more realistic Music Reproduction System although I must advise, caution, and inform you that their are practitioners of Tru-Fi who do not fully understand or comprehend how it should be implemented, utilized, and applied and in particular the failure to account for ICSS factor is a limiting shortcoming that will prevent you from fully benefiting from Tru-Fi.
I would suggest, advise, and recommend you ignore cleeds, who is like an oozing, fetsering boil on this cite. However if you do not think that it is possible to achieve genuine, accurate, defined stereo bass than you are not working with properties. All audio components have properties and if you do not understand them you are building, assembling, and installing you're Music Reproduction System by trial and error which is virtually assured to result in unpredictable, unsatisfactory, unintended results and this can be show to all who have experienced Tru-Fi. However to be truly successful in the implementation of Tru-Fi you must also account for ICSS which is especially important when working with subwoofers or any full range speaker capable of accepting, reproducing, and delivering natural, genuine, authentic low frequencys. The fatal flaw in Tru-Fi is this failure to understand, accept, and account for ICSS factor which varies based on room, sound treatments, and of course the speakers themselves.
