Recommended 5.1 processor + amp under 10k

Thanks for the recommendations. Krell also advised me to keep the amps, maybe get them serviced and upgrade the processor. The Foundation offers more features than I need and I am wary about not licensing Audyssey. Will also look at Anthem and Classe.

Decided to go with NAD separates, bought demo units at a dealer and spend some good money upgrading the cabling system.

Have put the KAV250a and KAV250a/3 up for sale

Thanks for the recommendations, except for the snide comments from Avgoround who trolls just this section of the forum. Mind you I am deploying decent cabling such as High Fidelity Cables and isolation like Stillpoints Ultra SS resulting in, IME, a much better value proposition.

The NAD T-187 sounds pretty good with the KAV250a and KAV250a/3, decoding everything blissfully well and the change before and after room correction is very noticeable. I am still evaluating multi channel amps.

I have 3 systems of which the HT system is mostly just for movies so have spent most in the 2 channel system. If I could merge the music and HT, I would certainly do. Maybe when I move and build a dedicated music room.
