Tswlsla,
If you check my last post, I recommend a couple of choices you might like. After reading your last post, however, I don't think you should buy anything at this point'; even the stuff I recommend. It's clear that you want some type of change in your system. It's also clear that you are very unsure on how to proceed. The only real reference you have at this point is your current amp. I see you trying to get as much info from other sources and then make the best educated guess you can as far as new equipment. The problem is that everyone has a different opinion as to what sounds good; as do you. I can pretty much guarantee that if you continue down your current path you will not end up with something you like. The only thing that makes sense for you at this point is to gain more experience. You MUST listen to some other equipment. If you have a good local dealer, bring your parasound in and put it next to something else so that you can form an opinion that is based on something real. If you have friends with good equipment, do the same thing. In the end, you should be able to answer most, if not all, the questions you have yourself. Its just my opinion, but until you feel comfortable using your own judgement, you should just hold off on buying anything.
