What surround sound amp and system do I upgrade to?...

[ayds]

I currently have all in one room NAD 370 amp ARCAM CD72 CD Player Tannoy R3 Speakers Pioneer DV565A DVD player Yamaha DSP- AX640SE AV Amplifier MIssion 5-speaker package with M2's front stand speakers, subwoofer, centre and rear speakers I have a small lounge but I love the Tannoys and the NAD370 amp but I have way too much stereo stuff for one small lounge and want to upgrade to one system that will do the lot - home cinema and music but still have the same sound quality of the tannoys and the NAD amp when it comes to music Can anyone please give me a suggestion for around the same price bracket to upgrade my system to just one overall package. Thanks Aydhen

As I recall the AX640 has pre-outs for all of the surround channels. Therefore couldn't you connect the pre-outs for the front left and right channels into a spare input on the nad and dispense with the two front Missions.

That reduces a certain amount of equipment. Then all you need to decide is whther you need to replace the Pioneer and Arcam with an improved DVD player that can replace both. Personally, I wouldn't bother but then I liked the CD 72 before I got the CD93!!

Hope that helps a little bit.
