Where is my weakest link?

My system consists of Rotel front end (rdv1080 dvd,rsp976 pre/pro.) The amp is a B&k 5000 and the speakers are Paradigm Studio 100's with other paridigms throughout. I use the system for both HT and music. Movies sound good but I need a good upgrade for 2 channel lisening.I am thinking of trying the Music Fidelity A324 to get that extra little something out of the the stereo music I listen to. Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW I am using all PS Audio power cords and Sinergystics and Straight Wire interconnects. Again thanks for listening.

IMO, the amp is your weakest link. B&K is strictly middle-of-the-road stuff. Some will think I am beating a dead horse here, but check out the powerful and fast Odyssey Stratos amp at odysseyaudio.com. There you will see the amp and some excellent reviews from top rated sources.

And it's only $1000.

Secondly, you may want to consider selling all things greater than 2-channel in your system (except for the dvd player). With those additional monies, you can get some pretty good used 2-channel equipment that will sound much better with movies than a mediocre (not that your's is) home theater system.

-IMO (as always)

I agree, I would say the amp is the weekest link. Musical Fidelity would be a good choice for 2 channel amplification. Also, a dedicated CD player would do you really well..

Musically,
Definately the amp... Try an Aragon 8002 or 8008 and a
3 channel for theater use...
Check out my system on virtual system.. titled
