Processor recommendation
« on: 18 May 2014, 01:12 pm »
Hi!  I'm looking for a recommendation for a processor for a rather strange setup I use for movies at home.  I have an OPPO BDP-83 fed through a receiver and a McCormack 2ch amp to a pair of quality tower speakers.  My TV is a 60" Samsung 8500.  I currently have an Anthem AVM20 I bought used but it makes an incredibly loud hum.  So, I'm looking for a solution.  I'm thinking the AVM20 isn't worth repairing.

I'm thinking maybe the OPPO has good enough audio processing capability that I can use it to translate the multi-channel audio into phantom center, in which case I don't need a processor for that.  Maybe the Outlaw 975 would be a good choice?  Not sure, and I'm having a hard time finding places where I can get some good guidance - hence this post.

Any thoughts much appreciated.

Will
