Advice on Integrated Receiver
Ok dumb question, but would I be fine just using the CA CAX81 as a preamp and output the signals to a dedicated amp like the Pass Labs XA25.  Or would leveraging the CA's preamp circuity somehow be a bottleneck.    Before I just duplicated equipm...

@mtbiker29 Can you spell out those suggestions (brand, model)?  I’m a newb.  I’ve got the Parasound HINT 6 written down and have been looking at it.  Also want to do some research on the other suggestions.  Thanks!

@avanti1960 I picked up the LA Black Cube SE.  Will let you know if this changes anything (I still plan on a speaker upgrade but this was a quick upgrade I could make).  After reading the tech specs of the Schiit Mani, it really is not a fully cap...

@avanti1960  @audphile1  Any experience with the Rega Aria?  I have the P6 and an all-analog phone preamp made by the same company as my TT seems like a smart move?  The price is in line with the Lehmann.

Denon 6500 - Am I crazy?
Thanks for so many great comments.  One question I had was, @hshifi said For music side do two sealed subs.  I might be dense, but if doing 2-channel stereo this wouldn't be available.  I assume he meant if using a AVR with 5.2 or 7.2?So, I think ... 
Speakers to pair with Elicit-R / Rega Planar 6?
I currently have a couple B&W 602 Series 3's and a couple B&W Matrix HTM's (basically two centers used in Stereo setup).  I swap between the two and the HTM's are clearly better (even though much older).  I'm a bit amateur when it comes to...
