Buy a used ROTEL RSP 1570 I have one in my system it sounds great in 2 channel and the new digital formats.
What setup for my dedicated home theater?
So I have recently setup a dedicated home theater around an Epson Pro Cinima 800 projector and 100" screen. The wife and I LOVE it.
Originally I had a set of Monitor Audio B1 (smaller bookshelf) speakers in my office that I brought down and hooked up to an older Onkyo HT receiver. I picked up a matching MA center and pulled my old Definitive sub and BP2 bipole speakers (for the rear) out of storage.
Well now that we are using this room a lot more I picked up a brand new Onkyo TX-NR509 HT receiver (80wpc). It is great for the money but the first two months of use has been a reliability nightmare. So now I'm thinking about bringing my higher-end system in.
My living room system consists of the following: Snell E.5 (floor standing) speakers with matching center are a big step up from the MA speakers. I have a Rotel RSP-1068 (pre-pro) and RMB-985 (5x100 wpc) to power them. The problem is that the 1068 doesn't have HDMI switching so I think I'd have to upgrade this to a newer pre-pro.
I might have made a mistake getting the lower end Onkyo 509. I fear that the Onkyo can't properly power the Snells and I'd love to get some Rotel gear into the dedicated HT. Then I would move the MA's and Onkyo into the living room. So please ket me know what you think I should do. Thanks!
