I'm not sure what I need


This is my television sound system

KEF LS50 left and right speakers

KEF matching center speaker

Parasound Halo A3 3 channel power amplifier

Here is the part I need help with..... For a preamp/controller/processor I'm using an OPPO 105D and its starting to have issues. I would like to make an improvement in my system but I don't know just what I need. I use this system for 95% television and about 5% for music.

I should have mentioned that I plan to keep it just a right/left/center speaker maybe a sub situation.  So it appears it is a processor I need. Since I only need three channels what would be some suggestions of units that would work for me?

 

 

What's your budget?  If money was not an issue, I would probably recommend a used Krell Foundation 4K processor.  It's a 7.1 processor, so it doesn't have all the extra channels and junk for atmos stuff.  But they are in the $4.5k price range.

A used Anthem AVM-60 is in the $1900-2200 range.

I don't have a budget. I just figured the speakers were about $2200 and the amp $3000 so I should spend something similar. I will look at those pieces. Thanks.

I agree with @auxinput an Anthem AVM-60 or other used Anthem AVP that has the features/connections you need would be a great choice for your setup if in budget.  

I see both pieces are for sale in the classifieds. Would I notice the Krell sounding significantly better than the Anthem while watching TV? Does the Krell have some feature the Anthem doesn't have? Is the build quality that much better? It definitely looks better. 

BTW, I very much appreciate the help!
