I currently have a Denon 5083A with B&W 800Ds (front), N802s in the rear. I am considering buying a new HT amp... I like the new Denon 5805 specs with the room eq... I've also read excellent reviews on the Lexicon RV-8. integrated amp. I also have Classe CAM 350s to power the fronts with either solution as well as a classe stereo amp with HT pass thru for 2 channel listening... What amp would you go with?

Without a doubt the Denon 5805. Fantastic pre amp section both for Ht and for music, and immense versatility with regards other zones etc as well as the odyssey romm eq.
Bit of a large box though.
With your Classe powering the front two, the amps on the denon would be fine for the other channels.
I use a Denon 5803(as a pre), and have auditioned the MC 8 pre amp from Lexicon, and I do not believe it is better(IMHO). -
SRT-10-Viper,
You may want to post this in the general Home Theater formum secion of HT Guide - it is not B&W specfic and you will get a broader range of posters and views

My dealer is giving me a good deal on the Denon 5805 and I plan to upgrade my center speaker to HTM1D with in the next year. Would Denon 5805 be a good fit for the HTM1D? Any comments are welcomed... -
I just borrowed a demo unit from my dealer Denon 5805 to test out the upscaling feature. I used component cables and tried to see the differences between 480i vs. the upscaled images 720p and 1080i and I wasn't able to notice the differences (I went into the menu on my Infocus 7205 to verify the image...
