Need help in deciding

Haven't posted in awhile but need some suggestions to upgrade amplifiers and to add a preamp with home theater bypass to my HT system.Thought is to upgrade the two channel performance for this system.

Current amps are five Nuforce Ref 8B's. Should I upgrade them to the latest version or look for an amp to drive my Sonus Faber Grand Piano Homes with matching center and surrounds??

Current pre processor is the Classe SSP 60 which is fine for home theater but not for two channel. What would you suggest??

Budget for preamp and two channel amp would be 5K total. Upgrade cost for Nuforce amps is 3K for a reference.

All suggestions welcome.

+1 wow, some excellent suggestions.

Regarding your NuForce amplifiers. The suggestion to hold on to them for now and become familiar with a new preamp is good advise. I upgraded from version 1 SEs to version 3. While the upgrade was audible It made me realized I wanted to go back go tubes.

Am I assuming correctly that you want your two channel to sound all it can be yet still have it play its part as the left and right channels of your HT system?
