Hi All 

I have seen a second hand, year old, P777 for sale for £1800. I was thinking about using the pre outs and adding a P38 for the front 2 channels but as it seems I can get a nearly new P777 for a few pounds more its probably worth it. 

If i get the P38 I cn get home demo from the local HiFi store but sadly I wont be able to with the P777 as its pick up only and a long way from my place so I wont really know if it works until I have paid for it and plugged it in which is not the best way to buy HiFi. Has anoyone else added a P777 to their receiver and did you get good results? 

The speakers are KEF R300 front , R100 back , and R600 centre , REL sub. I also stream alll my music using a cyrus XP (going to get the QX upgrade in the new year) 

The sound I get currently is great however is not quite as good a my old dedicated 2 channel Cyrus system. I am hopping that adding a decent dedicated power amp to the receiver and using the Pre ins for the Cyrus XP I can get much closer to the sound from a dedicated 2 channel system. 

Cheers

Keith
