Thanks! Great to hear the 3.1's can handle center duty. Will just concentrate on the rears for now and see if my setup will mimic what you have found. Not having to have the center frees funds for the A'Diva ti's.
For now I will be running my mains through a B&K Ref 20 and powering with a Bryston 2bst. H/T is handled with a Denon 2802 used as a pre for surrounds with a B&K 5 channel amp.
Next planned upgrade is for a h/t pre but it may be a while. I prefer buying used and with the new formats I'll wait till there are some choices and reviews.
Depending on how the 3.1's sound with the Bryston it is possible I could look into another amp befor the pre.. Just have to wait and see.
Had a similar experience to your Rotel to Bel Canto when I added the Bryston to my old Denon ht receiver. Just couldn't believe how much I had been missing.
Thanks again,
Steve
