Ok, I will have about $4000 to spend on upgrades soon. Ideas on which way to go would be appreciated. Looking to upgrade HT room set up as per below in Sig for better 2 channel music.
At the moment with HDMI from PC into AVR and out to poweramp most music sounds pretty good, gets a bit harsh with heavier rock music, more bombastic stuff or male voices like Peter Gabriel, female vocals are great.
Here are some options I am currently looking at.
1. Just upgrading current Richter Wizard Mk 4 to something like Martin Logan 60XT.
2. Replacing Rotel 1552 with Elektra 3 channel poweramp and Parasound P5, using PC still with USB into Parasound. (better streamer later on)
3. Parasound P5, Parasound A23 with Bluesound Node as streamer.
4. Something like A Hegel H160 (second hand) with HT Bypass.
