1) If you have tube amps, try them. Use your amp/processor's preouts. Tube amps will improve the sound two fold. Of course pick your most articulate amp for the center channel.

2) Change to a preamp processor only and use tube amps for each channel. This will improve the sound over "1".

3) skip two if you can and just do "4".

4) remove the preamps processor and get a dvd player with a processor built in. Run this directly to your tube amps. This will result in the most natural sounding home theater. Quite incredible.

5) For two channel, get your favorite dac and attach it to the dvd player through a digital out. Keep the dac off except for stereo. You'll have to get a rca selector switch from radio shack, 15 bucks, to run the dac to your favorite amp and speakers in the ht.

6) I agree that HT is family time.
