Recommended receiver for HT


I plan to downsize from Bryston SP-3 processor and Parasound amps to a single receiver for HT. The speakers would be KEF T301 fronts; LS50s are side and rear; subs are pairs of Velodyne HGS-15s and HGS-10s with SMS-1 bass management. Sources are Cox TV, Ayre DX-5 DSD, and perhaps Oppo 205 or 105D. Stereo music is a separate setup. I’ve been out of the receiver market for decades, so I’m seeking recommendations for a used receiver at moderate cost.

Let me get this straight. You have a system that’s capable of playback of music in stereo sound on deep bass and you’re still unable to name a single example of recorded music on any format that contains stereo deep bass below about 80-100 Hz ?
No, you don’t have it straight at all. I suggest you do a little homework, such as reviewing any of the real scientific literature on sound localization, e.g. Brughera and Dunai; or the work of Stevens & Newman, done w-a-y back in 1936. (That’s old, but the science is still valid.) There’s actually a lot of science on this, but you’ll have to get your head out of silly consumer magazines such as "Secrets of Home Theater" and the like.

You may also want to more carefully re-read what I’ve already posted on stereo bass.

This thread suggests that you suffer from illogic and compromised reading comprehension, so you’ll probably just continue to cling to your beliefs. Although you wrote "Case closed" what you really have is "Mind closed" and I can’t help you with that.

Have a Nice Day!
I would suggest, advise, and recommend you ignore cleeds, who is like an oozing, fetsering boil on this cite. However if you do not think that it is possible to achieve genuine, accurate, defined stereo bass than you are not working with properties. All audio components have properties and if you do not understand them you are building, assembling, and installing you're Music Reproduction System by trial and error which is virtually assured to result in unpredictable, unsatisfactory, unintended results and this can be show to all who have experienced Tru-Fi. However to be truly successful in the implementation of Tru-Fi you must also account for ICSS which is especially important when working with subwoofers or any full range speaker capable of accepting, reproducing, and delivering natural, genuine, authentic low frequencys. The fatal flaw in Tru-Fi is this failure to understand, accept, and account for ICSS factor which varies based on room, sound treatments, and of course the speakers themselves.
noble100 "Huh?"
I applaud, congratulate, and commend you for asking a question hear about something that you do not fully and completely understand and pursuing, exploring, and studying the qualitys, nature, and application of Tru-Fi is certain to result in you achieving a more realistic Music Reproduction System although I must advise, caution, and inform you that their are practitioners of Tru-Fi who do not fully understand or comprehend how it should be implemented, utilized, and applied and in particular the failure to account for ICSS factor is a limiting shortcoming that will prevent you from fully benefiting from Tru-Fi.
Hello clearthink,

      I hope your user name is indicative of your actual cognitive functioning and you'll be able to communicate more effectively than cleeds.
     Unfortunately, I believe we've gotten off to a poor start based on your first two posts addressed to myself.  You mention Tru-Fi as if it's commonly known in your last post.  I had no idea of what Tru-Fi refers to so I googled it. My search resulted in a company named Tru-Fi that apparently makes various electric guitar pedals with model names such as Zosa Fuzz, Suppa Fuzz and Colordriver.
     I'm fairly sure you're not referring to these, so I'm requesting you clarify exactly what you're referring to or just provide a link to a site that explains things.

Thanx,
  Tim
