Wow, this all started with my trying to clean up the master bedroom by replacing the M2's and on-wall center with in-ceilings & in-walls to make my wife happy. Well, actually the thought process started with my M-Audio computer speakers going bad and thinking the M2's would ge a good replacement. I could just put my under powered Denon from the family room in my office and replace it with the x4500h. Done deal, right?
I get where you're going but it seems it may be overkill for my needs -- especially coming from what I have now. I get that the M5HP's need a separate amp, but not the 1000, but the 1500? And not one amp sharing the 3 fronts, but two separate 1500 amps??
I'm not an audiophile and any knowledge I learned about 12 - 15 years ago when I setup my home theatre is lost to me now. So, I'm pushing back here a bit more on instinct.
Why not a VP160 (non HP as you suggest) and a single 3 channel ADA-1000? Wouldn't that alone be a significant upgrade to what I have now?
