Looking for some opinions. I am currently using an older Onkyo receiver (TX-DS787) with a Marantz MM-9000 amplifier. I moved this summer and my ht has been down due to some remodeling. The room is about finished (at least enough to set up the system) and I am wanting to upgrade my receiver to take advantage of the new sound formats out. I am debating between buying a processor to mate with the amp I already have or selling both amplifier and receiver and purchasing a new receiver.
For a processor it would be limited to the Emotiva UMC-1 because of price constraints. If I were to go the receiver route something under $1000. The room is not large, roughly 14'x16'6". I use Paradigm Monitor series speakers.
I guess my question is am I going to sacrifice a significant amount of performance (audible) going with a receiver over the separates in my situation?
