Recommended 5.1 processor + amp under 10k

After spending a great deal of time and money to upgrade my main 2 channel system, maybe it is time to plan the upgrade of my HT system that I have neglected for a long while.

Currently I use an old Krell HTS with the combo of KAV 250a and KAV250a/3. All info available under my "system".

The HT is used for 40% music and 60% movies.

Nu Force AVP - 18

Killer all digital preamplifier / processor
Google the reviews

Convinced me to dump the Hi-end 7.1 discrete AV receiver / discrete ML speaker system route in favor of this preamp / processor and quality power amps 7.1 system, with my existing 2 channel system intregrated amp into the HT rig.

(Audio refinement 2 channel plus 3 channel power amps with REGA Osiris integrated amp driving the LF and RF

Have you thought about keeping your amps and getting a Krell Foundation for the processor?

Ditto. Keep the amps; get the Foundation.

Thanks for the recommendations. Krell also advised me to keep the amps, maybe get them serviced and upgrade the processor. The Foundation offers more features than I need and I am wary about not licensing Audyssey. Will also look at Anthem and Classe.

Decided to go with NAD separates, bought demo units at a dealer and spend some good money upgrading the cabling system.

Have put the KAV250a and KAV250a/3 up for sale
