I'd get a 2 channel preamp with HT bypass (say a Modwright or the W4S STP) and a 2 channel amplifier. Likely a better result for music.
Anthem vs Arcam
I have the mrx700, Dali ikon II speakers in a HT system at the moment, and I was thinking of adding a 3 or 5 channel amp....to upgrade my sound quality across the board...Anthem has the mca series and pva that are both affordable...and Ive found a p-1000 Arcam that is also reasonable...Any suggestions?
