Your best improvement will come from separating two channel from surround. Not only will no multi channel processor ever give you great stereo performance, when you have your speaker placement optimized for movies, then two channel sound suffers. ... 
Most enduring audio purchase
I bought a K&K phono preamp in 2003. I just sent it back last week for the latest updates (maxxed out status). I have upgraded everything else in the system at least five times since then (speakers many times that). It is the one component tha...

My wife passed yesterday
Charyo,May God be with you in this time of sorrow. Your post made me think of my wife and how understanding she has been through the years. I know you will miss her, but just know that your wife would want you to continue to enjoy what you are pas...

Quality issues with Tekton speakers....
"I should be hated for wanting a decent product for my $2,500 ???"So now you didn't get a decent product for your money?This gets better all the time.Shakey 
Should I upgrade to Martin Logan Montis?
Congrats on the speakers. But an amp/preamp upgrade should have been first on the list.Shakey 
Quality issues with Tekton speakers....
