Best of both worlds?? Dreaming perhaps??


Guess I will try again since last time didn't get much response. Really trying to incorporate both HT and 2 channel as I have one room in which to do this.

Looking for a HT processor that has a most excellent analogue 2 channel bypass with superb sonic qualities. Over 95% of what I do is music but I must appease the wife so as to not have a huge rack of gear. (much to my dismay) If possible would like multi zone but wouldn't have to be crucial. Since I am going with a good piece, would prefer the latest greatest software for video as well.

Currently have Dali MS4's which I am keeping as I think they sound awesome, Classe SSP25THX which is a nice piece but uses some older technologies, Meridian 506.20 CDP and a Sherbourn 7/2100 which I am only using 4 channels but will probably add the Dali center to go above my Pioneer Elite HD630 RPTV.

Any and all opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Good Listening,

Don't dream anymore: The McIntosh MX135 SSP has an analog 2-channel preamp built in! Why not go for that? It has 2 independant zones and the "latest and greatest" Aureus DSP chipset as well. Sounds like it was made just for people in your situation. If its sound quality is like the MX132, it will be SWEET and glorious.
