This post is beyond my capabilities to understand. You want to fill a small room with enough power and sound than most will do for a room 3 times the size. I don't understand spending 10k plus for such a small space. You are way out of my expertis... 
People complain about lack of bass, not enough mid range. Solution?
So I'm thinking of bi-amping my B&W 602s2 bookshelf from a Rotel RB-850 5 channel amplifier. As I understand I use my bi-wire Audioquest cables by plugging it into the left main and left surround and the same with the right. What I'm reading h... 
One receiver for both ht and 2 channel (diff speakers)
I have a Rotel 5 channel amp and want to both listen to 5-7 channel surround but also listen to my B&W speakers in stereo. I want to replace my Rotel preamp with a decent AVR with Pure sound option and pre-outs for left/right and maybe center?... 
What am I looking for in a Processor
Looking at the Marantz receivers or 2-channel amps with HDMI inputs and outputs    
WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR?
While I am impressed with the myriad of gear available and it's advancements in audio sound I can't bring myself to pay these abhorrent prices for so little gain. I'm in my middle 60's with substantial hearing loss due to listening for years at hi... 
Giving in to my weaknesses
I'm thinking either a Marantz AV60 or SR6015 will be the answer to my dilemma.  I'm looking for a compromise between HT and 2-channel music with my Rotel CD and Blu-ray. I will have only the HT setup and music in one room. I think my B&W 602s... 
Giving in to my weaknesses
I currently use Rotel 985 preamp with a Rotel 5-channel amp driving B&W 602S2 speakers, a Paradigm center and surrounds with a SVS PSB-1000 sub. The pre and amp are old without any current inputs or outputs. My budget is ~$5000 for new LCR sp... 
Looking for a good amp and speaker combo
I'm pretty much set on the Denon 3700H to dive my center and surrounds and outside speakers. Really looking for suggestions for an amp to push my B&W 602's and a suggestion for a center speaker. My hearing is lost in the midrange (too many con... 
Looking for a good amp and speaker combo
Always been impressed with Anthem amps and have owned the B&W center before but found it difficult to mount  below the TV. It belongs in a different environment that is different from my perception 
Looking for a good amp and speaker combo
Oh, and a turntable as well. Mine is 40 years old... Direct drive MCS with a Shure cartridge 
Looking for a good amp and speaker combo
Primarily HT, which is why I chose the Denon 3700h. But I like my music and haven't listened to my old vinyl in a while. I like the idea of using a used Adcom for music. I have a SVS for bass and love it. I have another Definitive Tech bass that I... 
Turntable Decision
Using a PB 1000 SVS sub as well. Willing to forego the speakers if I can get a better combination. But the AVR and Marantz are not going anywhere. Love the musicality of the Marantz and the HT of the Denon. To me it's the best compromise of both w... 
Turntable Decision
I would love to upgrade from my Rega Planar 3 but some of these prices are way out of my price range! Can someone recommend an affordable plate that coexists with my Denon AVR2700 with an Marantz 8005 powering my LF B&W 601 and center Kef with... 
Best combination of HT and sound
A lot of excellent suggestions here. I'm leaning towards  elliottbnewcombjr2 suggestion of using a two channel amp for the fronts and let the AVR take care of the rest. Looking at the Denon 2700 and use the pre-outs to drive my front speakers fro...
