Any thoughts on which is better?
The 565 is the predecessor to the 568 as far as I know which was more expensive than the 561 so was it better, and if the difference between the 565 with Z3 and 568 is marginal, is 565 better than 561?
I could do with the extra inputs of the 561 as opposed to the 565 but 562 would solve that. On the 561's side, it still has updates available, while the 565 was stopped ages ago. I currently have 565 on loan and it is awesome, but I have niggling feeling that I might be missing something by not spending a bit extra for the 561. Both are used, and I would need to hunt for a 562.
Sorry if this is a bit long-winded. I just can't seem to find anyone who's tried both side by side.
Will be looking to get a decent 5ch power amp to match.
Speakers are JM Lab Electra 905 fronts / JM Cobolt CC800 Centre / KEF Rears (just som crappy ones from Richers's to tide me over - considering K4s or Xenon Surround 25s).
Cheers.
