    Should I continue to look for something better?

    Like others have said, you need a plan otherwise you'll end up spending a fortune swapping out gear in search of a cohesive system.  

     

    I'd suggest that you decide on a particular line of speakers and wait for the right ones to come along.  Start with your mains, then add the center, and then the surrounds.

  2. Just when I was ready to give up I decided to try swapping out the RCA cables and bingo!, the buzz volume dropped substantially.  I'm now a happy camper :D.

     

    I was using Mediabridge cables and I swapped them for some old Auvio cables from RadioShack.

  3. Well I spent an hour crouched behind my tv console rewiring everything and have been rewarded with buzzzzzzzzzzzzzz through all channels powered by the B&K.  It's quite loud.  :(

     

    Pretty sure I have a grounding issue, but no idea how to resolve it.  I've already unplugged my cable coaxial to no effect.  The buzz is worse when the amp for my DIY sub is turned on.

     

    Let me know what you guys suggest. 

  4. Just received this B&K AV125.5 power amplifier to try out in my HT.  It'll be a few days before I can get it hooked up, but I can hardly wait.  The power supply is way beyond anything I've ever seen in a receiver.

  5. Looks like you've made the best of a tough layout.  Those big open family rooms make placement of surround speakers difficult.

     

    I'd worry that your side surrounds are too close to the listener and may sound a bit hot.  The further you could pull them away from the listener the better.

    Fuzzy i went outboard for L and R and it is better.  I used an inuke because at 8ohms they have good response to 20khz....at 4ohms not as good.  It makes a difference and i have a denon with tests that show it shouldnt.

    How well does a pro amp work for your mains?  I've no doubt that it provides the power, but i'd wonder how it compares to more home theater/audiophile oriented amps in other parameters.

    Do you think just a flagship AVR would suffice? I'm either looking to do a new flagship without separate amps (for now) or getting an older flagship for a decent price and getting an amp for front channels.

    What about something like a Denon X-4300 with an outboard.  You'll save about $500 on the receiver which you can dump into an outboard amp.

    Pio Elites are known to sound great with Klipsch and I would have to the think the SC-99 would do everything you need right out of the box up to 5.2.2, no external amp needed.

    I really liked my SC-1323 when i was running it in a 7.2 setup in my HT.  My new Denon definitely has a warmer/darker signature which some people prefer.  

     

    I think @derrickdj1is running a SC-99 in his Atmos setup if you're looking for hands on experience.
