While I haven't heard the Ovation, I have heard the rest. I recommend the Casanova. The Proceed is too polite...lacks slam. The Meridian 561 is not their latest model and lacks the latest generation of d/a converters and DD surround decoder. The EAD is a nice piece but I think the Casanova will edge it out in sonics. Read Cory Greenberg's review in Audio magazine. He loved the Casanova....he said it was better than his Casablanca. Why not go with the new Krell Home Theater Standard (AKA the "Sub-Standard") since you already have the KAV250a's? I heard one in a half million dollar demonstation theater at Magnolia HiFi in Seattle last week...I've never heard better mid-bass and midrange. I have a Casablanca feeding a Krell KAV500/5 and a Jeff Rowland Model 1 with Apogee ribbons for speakers. The sub is B&W ASW2000. While I will replace the amps and the sub, I am keeping the Casablanca...I will send it in for an upgrade to Casablanca2 as soon as they announce the prices. Best Regards, audiopath
