Nice that you can put the money toward an active system, but I'm surprised it made that much of a difference. I've been thinking of going with a preamp-processor again when I do my next big round of upgrades. I had an Integra at one point, but I've been through a couple of Onkyo receivers since then before settling on a Marantz, though this one was always intended to be temporary, too. I'm leaning hard toward the Anthem AVM 60, just based on how much people on here have loved the equivalent receivers, with Nick really loving ARC. Ian has me sold on trading up to active LFRs when they're released, so I'll get whatever amps he recommends matching to them, and use the amps I already have for the remaining speakers, which means adding an extra channel to the ADA1500 to power the center speaker.
