| Anthem AVM/20 upgrade to Integra or Marantz?? The issue with used is that features change rapidly. One needs to be quite certain what one is getting, what one is giving up and what one needs.Kal | |

| Big 2 channel Amp OR Smaller 6 channel and TRIamp? Sorry. I forgot about the OPs three pairs of terminals and was trying to fit your suggestion into 2 pairs.Kal | |
| Big 2 channel Amp OR Smaller 6 channel and TRIamp? How about you bi-amp, with 200 wpc for the woofers and then use a second amp for the mids/tweets and jumper them? Jumper what? Why? Cannot think of a jumper in this situation that would not create the potential for a short.Kal | |
| Big 2 channel Amp OR Smaller 6 channel and TRIamp? Headroom, of course, is not power, per se, unless it is used. So, do you think that the OP's scenario (B) is superior to scenario (A) for that reason? | |
| Upgrading from a Classe CDP 300 and SSP 600 If there is really $7K of difference, especially if you stick to HDMI (and save another $500 by getting the Oppo 93)! Remember, the Mac has MultEQ XT and the Integra has MultEQ XT32. (All this is inferential, of course, without hearing/using the M... | |

Is there something at play here that I'm missing. " Because there's more to it than t... | |
| Big 2 channel Amp OR Smaller 6 channel and TRIamp? Can you explain how you reached this conclusion? AFAIK, the current (and power) required is a function of voltage swing of the source and the impedance of the load. | |
| Big 2 channel Amp OR Smaller 6 channel and TRIamp? For the KEF Reference 203.2 (could not easily find the specs for the 203.1), the LF crossover is 300Hz in these speakers and sensitivity is 89dB/2.83v/m so the woofer eats half the power and the power rating is 50-200w. So, I would guess, again, t... | |
| Big 2 channel Amp OR Smaller 6 channel and TRIamp? Same old, same old. (A) without doubt.With scenario (B), your woofers would see only 100w.Kal | |
| Anthem AVM/20 upgrade to Integra or Marantz?? What is happening is that the complexity of multichannel and/or digital setup has made it nearly impossible for one to judge much from dealer demos. Not only are there so many more variables to complicate the decision but dealer competence can nei... | |
| Using my 2 channel system with a HT AV reciever. It won't sound funny but there may be a tonal difference between the L/R and the other channels. That is the price you pay for keeping your 2 channel preamp/amp. The only solution is to have the same electronics for every channel.Kal |
