Hi,
I just got a Revel M105 pair of speakers to replace a Klipsch RB51 and WOW! What a difference

I’m using a Marantz NR1504 to drive them and it has very helpful to improve the horrible Klipsch sound due to it‘s Audissey capabilities. Now, the story Is different since the Revels sound got worse using Audissey.
I was thinking may be I’m spending resources I don’t use, like 5 channel amp, a Audissey and it’s AV capabilities and could be a great deal buying an integrated amp with just a optical input to play my tv sound,

what you guys think?
Could I get an improvement here or it’s just a snake oil?

im thinking about a Marantz 7000n or Denon PMA-900.
I do want a Spotify connect

I'm thinking run a high powered Buckeye Amps class D amp and take it from there. You will save electricity, reduce temps drastically and have gobs of power.
