Suggestions for HT Amping... oddball stuff!

Posted by dlarkin_dc (A) on November 29, 2010 at 07:32:01

Currently I am using the speakers in my plasma Panny set, and they are very clear but they are wimpy and have nothing remotely bottom end. My hearing is not great, being deaf in one ear eliminates stereo effect and comprimises comprehension, particularly speech with background noise.

So I am looking for some reciever, or any solutions, that meets the following:

I'm intersted in being able to boosting center channel to get clearer audio, even if the sound is ultimately downmixed to full range left/right speaker. Most recivers have a Dialog Enhancer, is that center channel boost or frequency range boost? Does that get included in downmixed to a 2-channel output?

I'm not really a bass freak, I don't need the world to move for me when something blows up. I do have a spare passive 3-Ohm sub lying about that I could use, but driving that is not nessecary.

The blu-ray player Sony's S370 plays SACDs and I want to use the DTS out capablity of the player for decoding that glorious musical stream.

And, of course, there's a WAF budget.

I've looked at the most of the entry level 5.1 Sony, Pioneer Yamaha and can't abrely see any difference among them, bar warranty. So at this point I'm preapred to jump... I guess I just need some direction!
