I have an older Integra (Onkyo) DTR 7 series receiver with B & W FPMs/PV1 and a top-line Sony 46 LCD that I use to dazzle the supermodels that hang at my place. I studied relentlessly when I bought this stuff, but now I'm beginning to think that my equipment has become inadequate.
The Integra and my Toshiba HD box need to go away and be upgraded to HDMI/Blu-ray. The blu-ray topic I think I have a reasonable handle on - buy a PS3 or wait for a bit more maturity for a dedicated player. But I'm just starting on the path to research the audio side of the equation.
With electronics and cars I always get sucked into an "I gotta have that" vacuum as I start gaining knowledge about equipment (that's why I have a PC running Vista 64 and 2 8800 GTXs in SLI - and a Porsche 911S, like I need any of that).
Can anyone save me the trouble and just point me to the best possible audio solution (receiver or separates), at any price, so I can simply rush out and buy it? The only nod to reason should be in relation to the other legacy equipment that I want to keep, like my B & W speakers. Oh, and the new equipment should keep me whole for the longest possible time in terms of forseeable technology changes.
Thanks
Cheers
