Hi,
What you want from a home theater is quite different from what you want from a tubey stereo. It sounds like you need both. Just put the HT in a different room from your stereo. You see, the last thing you want when
a car drops a 1000 feet and goes WHAM!!! is for the sound to be golden, liquid. It needs to sound somewhat like reality. Lots of hi end speakers
have trouble with theater for the same reason.
That's why I like Magnepan & Velodyne. They are smooth without the slightest hint of compromising liquidity. I wanted line-level tubes to generate a laid-back character with the depth of stage that'll be lacking in an agressive Krell KAV-500 I want to buy. Why? Because the Krell made the Maggies (that were the least colored speakers I could find/make) even more articulate than I thought was even conceiveable. Together the sound should only be spacious when its supposed to be & intimate with plenty of depth during dramatic moments in music as well as HT.Besides my extensive proclivity towards eclectic music videos & live LDs completely obliterates the distinction.
Hi,
if you have not auditioned the Proceed home theater amp, i think you will like it a lot. Think it's made by Bryston. Other posters have said they are nice with Maggies, i just think they're nice.
I think you are getting the Lexicon amp confused with the Proceed amp. The Proceed is built by Madrigal the same company that make Mark Levison. The Lexicon 5 channel amp is made my Bryston.
I'll try that too. A Krell dealer is trying to steer me in that direction anyways touting that he receives the same compromission either way. I figure that it's worth a listen, but I hope it's better than the Bryston I've heard.To make a long story short the Bryston made my rear channel MGLR1s sound like a Sennheiser HD480 while the Krell made them sound like a HD600. It wasn't even close.
