I appreciate all the help!
So Oppo 93, Make space for a good center, add a sub, and upgrade amplification. In close to that order..maybe the center first.
Next problem will be a PSB center over the fireplace, given the port(s) on the back - I'm guessing the port right against the wall is a no-no, just as with L&R mains? Or does a center's more limited low frequency extension ameliorate that issue somewhat?
Yes, the Kappa's are power hungry. My Yamaha separate amp (not the receiver) does drive them to my maximun necessary volume though, and whatever they get replaced with will be more efficient, so I don't think I'll need a big power increase.
Once again, I appreciate the input!!
