@alexbpm Regarding your thoughts on the 5200, I'm considering this as a replacement for a NAD T787 along with a Legacy IV-5 amp. I have plans for a wavelet processor in the future but this is step 1. What are your thoughts on the 5200 from a 2 channel listening point of view? I'm using Legacy Silhouette for my front L/R, Legacy Foundation sub, and a Bluesound Node 2i for streaming. Thank you fro your thoughts on this.
Which surround sound processor $1k used
Time to replace my Emotiva UMC-1, which is breaking down (don't want to send it in to fix it yet again, it's been a lemon the whole time). Anthem AVM-50? Marantz 7703? Something else? I don't have a 4k tv yet and there's not much content in dts:x but that stuff is coming and I don't want to keep upgrading, so I'd like a unit that is up to date with sound and video formats. Similarly, I don't have speakers in the ceiling or the side walls but could in the future. Two-channel stereo is a separate system so this is just sound and video quality for movies, etc. I'd like it to sound as least as good as the Emotiva, which was a steal but never worked consistently. Theta Dreadnaught-2 amp, Snell XA speakers, Rel sub. Thanks. -Dave
