I haven't upgraded anything in over a decade since I painted the screen, except for a bluray player. Atmos would be fantastic! Heck, I'd be happy with HDMI switching.

I'd like to upgrade and hear more dimensions. I've been stuck for over a decade hearing the same dimensions with my trusty Onkyo 474. Sad but true... Maybe I'm caught in some kind of dimensional stasis?

AlbertD, Where can you get the 507 series 2 for $2500? Is it an authorized dealer (w/ warranty etc.)? Thanks.

Thanks for all the replies. It seems that the B&K has the upper hand. It's easier to demo too since they have it in a local shop and I don't need to pay for shipping or interconnects just to try it. Any outlaw die hards out there? The price I'm getting is around 2K for the series 1. Anyone...

I'm thinking about upgrading and was wondering what people thought between B&K 507 vs. a set of Outlaw separates, the 950 Pre with one of their amps (7100, or 750). The prices are pretty similar (the 7100 combo is actually quite a bit cheaper). This would be used exclusively for Home Theater...

Good question. I was wondering the same kind of thing. In my case I have a receiver (entry level 40 wpc) that doesn't have pre-outs but pre-ins. So would upgrading by getting a dedicated pre-processor provide noticable improvement (till I could afford a dedicated amp). Or just spend the dough on...

I'm trying to decide between the two. I think the PB2-ISD is relatively new. It's about $75 more expensive and more expensive to ship ($99). My room is about 25'x17.5'x10'. Any recommendations? Thanks.

Thanks all. I guess I'll stick with optical out to the receiver and let it do the decoding. The 474 does have preamp inputs but apparently the xp30 doesn't have 5.1 decoding. Do you think I would get noticable improvement buying a preamp and using that as the decoder and the 474 (40 watts) as an...

I am about to get a Panasonic XP30 dvd player and was wondering if I would get better audio performance for movies using its decoder and analog outs to my receiver's pre-amp inputs or just use optical out and let my entry level Onkyo 474 do the decoding? If so, does it matter what kind of analog...
