Entire room with the kitchen is ~540-590sft (50-55sqm).Īnd yes, getting a dedicated processor would be another way to go. Also there are two big sliding doors to the hall way (one from the living room, one from the kitchen), which are open almost all the time. What else? Uh, the room: it's a open living / dining room with an open kitchen attached through a huge sliding door. I am just mentioning that because I know some audiophilics do that I am not sitting down and listen to an LP or so or watch an entire concert in detail, but I use the couch for surfing the internet while listening to music and when I like a song I turn it up in between.

I use it a lot for movies and series but also for music. I often have the feeling that listening to loud music over some tracks is becoming exhausting for my ears and that was def. What I do know though: I tested an Rotel RKB 8100 (multiroom) power amp and this had a bit more kick to it.
I haven't done measurements, hence I do not know if this is maybe due to the room/roomcorrection and could be better. I got a defective A2080 (noise on right back channel), which is why I did not go through a perfect room correction and measurement afterwards. Thanks and stay quite expensive for not beeing perfect is what I thought, too. What would you guys do and why? Any thought or inputs? Maybe new devices (MiniDSP?) coming up, which would at least make the setup cover every speaker whithout even increasing the price for that further more? Sounds stupid, but it is just a living room home cinema (which is also why I want a good room correction). But, as I said, not adjusting the ceiling speakers is a bit stupid for that kind of money. In combination with the XTZ this would be enough for the MiniDSP 8 Channel Dirac Live. The Rotel 1575 seems to be discontinued (?) and only 5 channels. Not going into event technology it seems to be not that easy to find inexpensive multi channel amps.
Eventhough, Emotiva is supposed to be awesome, I would prefer a class D version. new HDMI or if something is broken in the pre-amp stage. What I do like about the expensive setup and not only a single device is that is easier/cheaper upgradeable to e.g. I ordered a xtz A2-300, which I like because of the use of class D: size and power consumption is nice. Another idea would be to wait for the Anthem MRX740, use ARC and only get a stereo amplifier to support the fronts (due to their low effency). Furthermore, this is a quite expensive setup for my speakers. This would mean the ceiling speakers would not be adjusted, because the MiniDSP is only 8 channels. My idea was to get a MiniDSP 88A with dirac live with the Yamaha and use a seperate amplifier for the bottom channels (for example an Emotiva XPA).

The new NAD for example just does not have 2x HDMI 4k out and I am using a TV and projector.

I am not really into the Arcam/NAD receivers due to the software bugs etc.
Thus, I was looking into Dirac Live and Anthem's ARC. I got an Yamaha A2080 on sale, but I also know that Yamaha's YPAO is supposed to be not as good/does not cover the bass as well as the XT32. For me that is why I want to try another manufacturer. But actually I had HDMI defects, propably due to minor electrical surges. Now, I used a Marantz/Denon AV-Receiver the last couple of years (last was x4500).
