weakest link? what would you upgrade?

My opinion, your P5 is an excellent amp, tons of power.
- Rid the PS3 for maybe Oppo 93 to utilize better processing- or wait for new 103 model.
- I think weak link is your pioneer and PS3
- you could still use your Pioneer for Pre- amp but does it have pass through and any room correction?

-----What is your budget for any changes?-----

The pioneer has the Room correction, not sure about the pass through though. i believe so.

Bill,

If this system is for HT only, why not just get a used or refurbished Integra or Onkyo pre/pro if you are not quite sure about your older Pioneer 92thx. They are outstanding for HT and include most if not all modern bells and whistles like Audyssey MultEQ XT32.

Baranowski, I kind of had the similar experience,
I was using a Marantz avr with B&W 805 center anyway I changed the whole thing
first I did'nt want to doubt the power of a very good AVR like the Arcam avr400 for now if the avr600 upgrades to HDMI 1.4 I might be tempted but the truth is the Arcam avr400 is very powerful at 90X7 wpc not two channels like most avrs companies, as well the Arcam's power is just awsome it will drive and hold most speakers to the wall, right now I have Merlins VSM mme they're sensitive at 89db so works well for me.
good luck finding the missing link.

I'm not a fan of B&W speakers, but if you like them and plan to keep them, I would start off with a good stereo amp for for your front left and right speakers. There's only so much power that you can get out of your receiver. A good amp will really take control of the speakers. Should make a very big difference.
