I'm trying to decide what to upgrade next on my system. Looking for the bigger bang for the buck on either a new sub or amp. My present sub is a Velodyne DLS5000R (15 inch) and my amp is a B&K AVR-507 (150w@8 and 180w@4). My speakers are 803s fronts, HTM3s center and SCM1 surrounds. As for the amp, I could use the prepro section of the reciever and go with a Classe 200x3 or Krell 250x3. The sub I have in mind is a Velodyne DD-15 or DD-18. Unfortunatly I have to do this a piece at a time, 2 to 3 pieces a year in order to retain my marraige status. Later on down the road, another amp and prepro. What would you suggest? 80% HT, 20% music. Thanks

You'll get opinions in favor of each option, but I'll give you mine...
I would do like you say and get a 3-channel amp for the fronts and use your 507 as a pre-pro.
What kind of room and room treatments do you have? If you have issues with the lower frequencies, perhaps there is something else you can do.Danish -
Room is 30x15 with several large openings into other rooms and hallway. No room treatments, but due to the open area behind seating area into large kitchen area I don't believe I am getting any real issues in the lower freq's.Comment

I need someone to put my mind at ease and push me over the edge
I've been looking forward to replacing my Yammy RXV-800 receiver (used as a prepro) with the RSP-1066 for quite some time. The only thing holding me back is the thought that somehow, DSPs and DACs don't make much of a... -
I have 803S Fronts, 804S Rears and a HTM1 for the Center channel. For amp I have a Krell 3x250 for the LCR, and a Krell 2x200 for the rears. Upgrading the fronts to 802D is possible in the distant future.

Can you help me pick a Prepro that will meet my needs, and match my B&W speakers? I have included my equipment list below.
I have 2 High Res sources so I would like something with 5.1 HDMI Audio, or at least two 5.1 Analog Inputs with true Bypass. I would also like 5.1 Balanced... -
I was wondering if anyone has had this problem and if so, what were your findings?
I tend to get a sort of " sssssss" sound at the end of certain vocals. It isn't as noticable on instruments.
I have switched speakers (brands) back and forth so, I know the tweeters... -
How important are the fabric properties for room treatments? The treatments I’ll be fabricating will be for first reflections and bass traps. After searching around for acoustically transparent fabrics, they seem to be very pricey and most of them are not wife approved (the ones which she does like...
