Mad Mr H
Very good points on the new amp options.
Thank you, I try and consider each situation to suit the actual user, Or you just end up with 7.1ch BB5XBD tri amp with 28's aa
So i am down to 2 possibilities.
1. Buy 3 7B's. Trade in my 6B. Keep my 4B.
2. Buy 2 7B's. Trade in my 4B. Keep my 6B(harder to sell later).
Option one for me also brings with it increased quality, and is a excellent "final" system. option two I think will always have that "should I go further?" in the back of your mind.
As for the Integra, I was actually thinking of upgrading to the Integra 80.1. But I then changed my mind
and decided to do the amps first. Not enough bang for the upgrade cost. I am using XLR's.
My Blu Ray player is the Marantz BD8002. Their very first one. I waited to see who would win the war.
Totally agree with you, The Integra DHC-80.1 is Onkyo 5507 in the UK - This was also a recent consideration for me, for the same reason as you I stuck with the 886 (integra 9.x)
XLR - Good choice
Marantz, nice player.
The Integra will be the weak link after the amp upgrade, but I think it is still best to wait and see what the market offers.......Now Blur Ray
lives on
EDIT : When I say weak link it is still an excellent machine, and ticks boxes more than most.
