Amp advice for my HT

Ok guys,

I've been using a Meridian 568 for some time now with B&W sig. 805s x 5. My amp is a Rotel 1075. I know it's a "good" amp but I feel it's just not showing me the benefits of the Meridian and B&W's. I've been looking at Krell, McIntosh, and Proceed( the OOB spooks me a bit) and would like some suggestions by anyone in a similar situation.

Thanks

JWH

Hramon doess all the warranty work and repairs for Proceed, yes, they are OOB, but I doubt Harmon will go OOB anytime soon... If you go Proceed, the HPA's would do well for you. Whichever way you go, get a lot of power... B&W's need it, and to my ears they are a little rough in the upper end so don't mate well with Krell amps. Just my opinion, I am sure many differ. Use your ears to decide.

You'll be hsppy with the HP2 or 3's. I loved mine. Actually wish I had done some side by side comparisons first, cause I have no confidence that my Theta Dreadnaught is better!

The biggest improvement Ive had in my system was the amp upgrade. I went from a Rotel 1095 to a Mc207. WOW if every upgrade made that difference Id be refinancing my house again.
