A tube amp is best for music.

If have budget for CM9, might as well go for CM10.
And yes, for that kind of money I rather get JBL LS series or klipsch 82

If have budget better even go for diamond series. Too bad not many people can appreciate B&W.

JBL and Klipsch both are great speakers too. My advice to TS is to listen personally to the speakers. It is very personal thing when comes to speakers. Of course it pretty much drill down to your budget.

TS -> Tread starter, refer to you
DAC -> Digital to Analog Converter. It is the second most important thing after speakers that impact the end results.
AC Filter -> Our wall sockets AC has noise, which is also carried into any amp transformer, which later into all the circuits. Anyway, it is small, but can be noticeable, especially with high detailed speakers.

Anyway, once reached 60 years old, lots of sound quality no longer really matter... hahaha...

no AVR can do that as of now... maybe another 2 version...

If you want to skip media player, you can buy Samsung TV. As long as 5 series and above, can play most format including DTS surround encoded MKV.

For the TS, if you can strench your budget and really want seriously good performance for both audio and video, I suggest buy Pioneer LX-57 for movie first. Then when you really want better audio, get another Marantz PM6005 dedicated stereo amp. The amp come with built in good DAC and is relatively cheap. Might also consider get a AC filter for the stereo amp for best performance.

So far from my knowledge, that's the only way for both great movies and music experinces.  sweat.gif

No need AV bypass. Very few expensive amp has that...

(1) Music playback on stereo amp into another room, another setup.

or

(2) Both AVR and stereo amp has cable to the speakers, but only one pair of speakers are plug in. Later want to listen music, unplug the AVR and plug in stereo amp one icon_rolleyes.gif That's how working level without high salary do it... thumbup.gif
