I just purchased a pair of 804s plus a Bryston 4bsst. I am coming back to audio after a long diversion. My other system is Quad ESL-63's , Vandersteen 2w sub ,original Theta DS-pre and a Audio research D-70.
I want to gradually build an audio/HT system around my new Panasonic 500u PDP. I have been using my Theta as a pre-amp along with a Denon 2900 to play the 804's .
I would love to upgrade the Theta for two channel but, Theta wants $8500.
So, here is my thinking.
1. Arcam Avp700
2. Classe' SSp-300
3. Lexicon MC-4
4.Linn Unidisc SC
I am very reluctant to spend the money on the last three since technology improves very quickly. I am primarily interested in two channel for now. Later I will add the matching center channel and rears.
Would my Theta be better for audio than the above? Will the sound be that much better over 1988 DACs? Is the analog section of the Theta viable enough still to be used over the above. First post...Thanks for reading.
