Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor

@rshad0000

I am also considering the Lyngdorf MP-50 as well as the Datasat RS20i, Trinnov Altitude 16 or 18, Theta Casablanca lVa, and possibly the Meridian Reference 861 v8. But not sure if the Meridian Ref 861 v8 has been updated to accommodate support for Dolby Atmos, DTS-X, Auro 3D or not.

Yes, the Lyngdorf MP-50 retails for $10k brand new and it’s almost the same price as the original retail price of the SSP 800, which was $9500. I’ve heard from many people that the Lyngdorf MP-50 has excellent Room Perfect. I’m not concerned about its stereo performance for 2ch music playbacks as this will be used strictly for home theater (surround sound movies, bluray musical films and concerts). I do have a separate dedicated stereo setup and system in a separate dedicated two-channel listening room that consists of completely different gears.

Btw, what power amps and speaker systems do you currently have in your home theater room besides the SSP 800?
I will be keeping all my Classe Delta series amps in my home theater room and will be adding extra multi-channel amp(s) once I get a new processor to power additional overhead speakers for Dolby Atmos & DTS-X setup. This will wait till I get done remodeling my home theater room in order to accommodate overhead speakers for Atmos setup / system. I will be adding the matching B&W 800 D3 series in-ceiling overhead speakers for Atmos setup. I will probably be adding more sides and backs channels. I will prob be aiming at 9.2.6 setup or 7.2.6. Most likely I will be adding another Classe power amps to power those additional speakers. Probably Classe Sigma series amps because they are compact in size due to class D designs, so that way I can save some space. Cause my existing Classe Delta series amps are huge massive due to class AB designs.

Wow.  Great HT system!  I have to say that after reading Doug Blackburn's review of the MP-50 in Widescreen Review it's hard to imagine the others offering anything better.  I know Doug and he is a straight shooter who is very meticulous, detail oriented, and not given to hyperbole.  So when he calls the Lyngdorf gear in a class of its own I take that as a pretty serious and credible recommendation.  The fact that Doug is a 2-channel guy at his roots gives him more even more credibility IMHO as he's heard some of the best audio out there -- not just HT -- and has that as his baseline for comparison.  I know this is strictly for a HT setup, but as a serious 2-channel guy yourself I'm sure you can appreciate that perspective as well.  Anyway, FWIW and best of luck in your search.

Thanks for the advise.

Yes I read great stuff about the MP-50. 
It is in my short list and it decodes Dolby Atmos & DTS-X that's the most important thing. That's the major reason I want to get rid of my Classe SSP 800 processor cause it does not decode Dolby Atmos & DTS-X. The Room Perfect is very good I've heard. That would be the strength of the Lyngdorf MP-50, right? 

Cause most of my 4k UHD bluray discs are formatted in Dolby Atmos or DTS-X but mostly Dolby Atmos. I'm using the Oppo UDP-205 4k UHD bluray player. 
And even some of newer released regular bluray discs are formatted in Dolby Atmos and few are DTS-X. 

I'm not concerned about a processor capable of passing 4k video signal HDR, hdcp 2.2, etc cause the Oppo UDP-205 is my only video or AV source in my dedicated HT room. And I run a video only HDMI out of my Oppo 205 directly to my 4k uhd display and run the audio only HDMI out of the Oppo 205 to my Classe SSP 800 processor. 

I heard the TaCT preamp in a private system about 18 years ago and what that relatively prehistoric room correction did for that $80k high-end stereo system was flat out amazing.  I also got to hear his system work on a system at a NYC show versus the same system without his room correction, and again, you'd have to be brain dead to not hear the incredible benefits of their room correction system.  Given the amount of time Lyngdorf has had to refine their craft and the review Doug gave their latest effort -- well. 

But at your level, I'd also think about giving my UDP-205 to Ric Schultz of Electronic Visionary Systems to see if you can't get more out of its HDMI out.  I'd be surprised if you don't get some meaningful benefit for relatively little outlay.  Anyway, let us know how it goes and best of luck!

Caphill,  I’m big in to two channel as well so I have gryphon diablo 300 that I use in home theater by pass mode for the L/R(for two Chanel I have a aurender n10 I use with the gryphon).   For the center, surround speakers and left and right back I have a Krell theater amplifier standard that has always worked really well.  The front channel speakers are Focal Sopra 3s with the matching center.   Surrounds are all def tech inwalls.   Also have 2 JL audio f112 subs.   Sounds really good, but like you, I feel it’s time to move on.
