Amp advice for my HT


Ok guys,

I've been using a Meridian 568 for some time now with B&W sig. 805s x 5. My amp is a Rotel 1075. I know it's a "good" amp but I feel it's just not showing me the benefits of the Meridian and B&W's. I've been looking at Krell, McIntosh, and Proceed( the OOB spooks me a bit) and would like some suggestions by anyone in a similar situation.

Thanks

JWH

Hramon doess all the warranty work and repairs for Proceed, yes, they are OOB, but I doubt Harmon will go OOB anytime soon... If you go Proceed, the HPA's would do well for you. Whichever way you go, get a lot of power... B&W's need it, and to my ears they are a little rough in the upper end so don't mate well with Krell amps. Just my opinion, I am sure many differ. Use your ears to decide.
You'll be hsppy with the HP2 or 3's. I loved mine. Actually wish I had done some side by side comparisons first, cause I have no confidence that my Theta Dreadnaught is better!
The biggest improvement Ive had in my system was the amp upgrade. I went from a Rotel 1095 to a Mc207. WOW if every upgrade made that difference Id be refinancing my house again.
James, just a tip regarding Proceed, or any of the older gear that now falls under Harman Specialty Group. HSG has a very poor policy (IMO) regarding repairs for this older gear. They require you to agree to a Not To Exceed value before sending a unit in for repair. They will not do estimates on older gear from these manufacturers that they now "own". The NTE fee varies, but is usually so high that (depending on the current value of the device) it may not even be worth sending in for repair.
