 I want to publicly thank Frank and his team of
professionals for building me a 240/3 double die
optioned amp. The Marantz SR6003 has been relieved
of the heavy lifting to the Salk Songtowers + Salk
center.  Everything sounds bigger,wider and more
precise. A great job well done, Frank.
                 Thanks, again

Congrats on the purchase!  Comparing one of Frank's amps to even a "higher end" ht receiver is just laughable in every sense of the word!

Your next step is to move to an AVA pre-amp for your 2-channel.  The difference will *amaze* you!

Not really.  The OP is clearly using his Marantz SR6003 to process HT.  AVA doesn't offer any 7.1 DSP processor.  He may not want to add a stereo preamp for 2 channel.

Come on, guys, give the man a chance to enjoy his excellent new amp!

Someday, he may want to add a preamp... or a dac... he's got Frank's number and this forum, surely he can get his answers then.

But for now, the lucky guy is probably still under the "AVA" effect. Y'all remember how that went... he might get used to it someday, might even forget it was ever different... but not today!
