I'm in the process of renovating my HT. Use is about 50/50 movies and music, with sound quality very important to me. I particularly love the middle and upper registers where female vocals inhabit. Sound should be dynamic, silky, and smooth.
Right now I am using an Anthem AVM20 that is soon to be replaced with an AVM50v (on backorder!).
Paradigm Reference Studios all around are being replaced with the Energy Veritas line.
My subwoofer is an SVS PB13 Ultra.
The amp is a Parasound 1205A THX 2 5-channel rated at 140W/channel at 8 ohms but I am considering changing this out, as well. Are there any other amps people like better than this particular Parasound or is this as good as it gets under $5000? On the low end (for price), I have been considering the Emotiva XPA-5, although I'm not sure this would be a step up from the Parasound. On the high end (though a bit out of my price range) is the McIntosh MC207.
Any insights/opinions would be greatly appreciated!
