B&W/Proceed/Rotel 2-Channel/HT setup

by timjclark on Opinions Please

Description

Here is my combo 2-channel/home theater setup. My latest upgrade were the addition of B&W 803S and HTM4S in place of B&W DM-640's and LCR-3. I'm very pleased with the update.

Upgrades that are on my mind (in order of perceived importance):

1) upgrade the power cords from the ones that came with the equipment

2) I've got the hankering to pick up another Proceed AMP-2 and bridge them.

3) dedicated AC line

4) Swap out the HTM4S for a HTM3S

Comments welcome!
