Hi Estes:

Thanks for the feedback. I actually made a typo - the LK85 is a power amp - not a pre-amp... and, yes, I agree with you, a separate pre-amp for the center channel would be a waste.

I think what I'll try first is the Arcam receiver. It's one of the few HT receivers I've found that can provide enough current for a 4 ohm speaker, and it doesn't sound too strained doing it. Of course, it would have more than enough juice for the surrounds.

If, at that point, I find that the center channel sounds strained, then I can chuck in an LK85 power amp to power the center. Though, I strongly suspect, once I have the 5-channels, I'll decide enough is enough, and I'll focus my efforts once again on 2-channel sound.

There. That makes sense.

Cheers,
JBC
