Also on a side note, I need to learn how to use this forum right, can't reply to anything or put emojis. Although I've upgraded from newbie to frequent flier. #makingmoves

No one uses this forum right. Look where this thread went. Riding ponies.

Corey, you won't be able to drive the M5s anywhere close to their limits. You need an ADA-1500-2 for that. Maybe the 1250. But not the 1000. It shuts down before they cry uncle.

Yea, as much as I'd love to drive them to their full potential, I won't be able to for a while. I'll push them to my current receivers capabilities. I just want some nice clean audio which I don't have now cause my FL speakers are fxxked. I already know it will be a massive upgrade.

You're in for a massive audio wake-up call!

Take a look at the Denon line of AVRs. I've owned (and still own) numerous brands, and the Denon's are by far the most reliable, and must up to date with new-fangled tech. Yes, there are brands that audio geeks fawn over....blah, blah, blah, but I'm over it. I like stuff to work when I push the go button.

Frankly, if it was me, I think I might wait a little bit for the more updated models to come out especially those connected with "Sound United"(Denon, Marantz, Onkyo, Pioneer), since there is considerable speculation going around that unlike Marantz and Denon, there have been no new announcements about whether or not both Onkyo(especially Onkyo)and Pioneer will continue in the Sound United portfolio of AVRs which, if true, would essentially leave in the mainstream brands only Marantz, Denon and Yamaha from which to choose. It all may be not the case, however, one has to wonder why a company would buy FOUR lines that eventually would have cross R&D and ultimately just fragment their sales. Marantz and Denon announced new models early, but, Onkyo and Pioneer, nothing.
The history of electronics mergers is that eventually some brands fall by the wayside.

Just as a point of interest , it would seem Sound United has recently acquired Bowers & Wilkins. This purchase means they have several loudspeaker lines now in their group. For whatever that’s worth- Jeff
