I've had the 561 and 568. I personally find upsampling useless (with analog speakers and 40 year old ears anyway). I have all B&W. For movies 568 and 561 are very similar. For music the 568 is quieter. The 561 had a tendancy to Hum. 568 is quieter on both balanced and non balanced outputs. 568 is just a tad smoother and crisper. If you can get the 561 cheap used you won't lose much money when you upgrade and you'll have something to look forward to.

The room and proper setup plays a huge part too.

P.S. The B&W N803's pass the wife acceptance factor. None of the Meridian DSP's would. Well that's a good excuse anyway :-).

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
