    Denon 5085 or Lexicon RV-8?

    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
