As title says, is the Emotiva UMC-1 & XPA-5 a good match for 600/CM series speakers for the price?
I have a Pioneer VSX-LX52, it was around $1,899AUD MSRP and considering upgrading to the Emotiva gear above, which will cost a similar price.
My thoughts are, is there any 7.1 pre-amp/processor and 5-channel amp that will give me noticeable improvement in sound for a similar or slightly more price?
My current gear is:
Pioneer VSX-LX52
Generic AWG14 bare speaker wire
685 - L/R
HTM61 - C
686 - RL/RR
Velodyne SPL-1200 Ultra
What I will be upgrading to by the end of 2011 (sooner rather than later):
Emotiva UMC-1
Emotiva XPA-5
Chord Carnival Silverscreen bi-wire
CM5 - L/R
CM Centre 2 - C
CM5 - RL/RR
Velodyne SPL-1200 Ultra
In Australia source voltage is 240VAC if that makes a difference.
