This has been my quest - to combine the joys of surround sound with the refined details of stereo and all on a mid entry level budget.
So to date , and I think I'm stopping here , I have a Denon 2309 feeding a Nait XS via pre outs into Spendor A6'S at the front , B and W CM Centre, 685 backs, and 608 Sub. That's with the AV unity gain on the Nait.
It's very good espcially when fed a dvd or blu ray from my pana bd 35 or when Sky HD has a film. It is not however perfect. The whole effect is only as good as the pre outs from the Denon and the Denon avr which means some loss of clarity.
The stereo which enjoys the Nait xs and a Flatcap 2x and Naim CD 5X is as you'd expect an amazing sound made all the more so by Spendor A6's . There are so many windows opened onto the sound that I am hearing layer upon layer of instrumentation
