Hi sdechpross
I am not often on Agon, but I had a moment and I was going through some threads and found yours. I am responding a bit late and you may have already made your decision. However, I own the B&K Ref 50 1.2 software and have used it until recently for both two channel audio listening and 5.1 home theater mated with a Parasound 2205 AT. Generally, I was very pleased with these two units for both 2 channel and home theatre performance. I was previously using a Marantz and a Yamaha surround sound receiver for about 6 years and the difference in performance was significant in the tightness of the low end, soundstage width and depth, dynamics, and to a lesser degree imaging and air. If you are still interested, I am actually going to sell my REF 50. I am the second owner I bought it on Agon from the original owner. I have all the boxes, etc.
If you are interested in this piece or if you have any other questions I can help you with, email me thru Agon at user name conserve.
Cheers,
Bruce
