I currently have the following:

861 v4
DSP 8000 L/R
DSP 5500 C
DSP 5500 Rear
DSP 33 Sides

WHilst going for an 861 v6 I decided to audition some analog speakers/amps, B&W 800D, 802D rears and centre and DB1 Sub. The processor was a Classe SSP800.

The main difference I noticed with the B&W is how open and airy the mid/treble is with far more detail that the digital theatre whereas the digital theatre has more impact. Can anyone with an 861 v6 give a view as to how much the v6 opens up the top end and detail or is the limitaton the DSP's?? I am toying with upgrading the centre to a 7200HC or going for the B&W with the 861.

About 80% movies and 20% music if that helps. Any opinions greatly appreciated.
