    your current receiver will be excellent for HT use, i would suggest you to invest that extra money for the best sub you can afford. im talking about something like DSW Micropro 4000 or some SVS sub..
    pswi225 is mediocre

    ya my current PSWi225 is not doing its job.

    i was looking at the PSW505 and the microPRO 2000

    i picked up the Adcom amp but dont have the Pre out on the back of my Denon AVR.

    micropro 2000 is excellent for music, when comes to HT, a bigger sub is better.
    try not get the psw505, dsw pro 600 is much better if micropro4000 is out of ur budget.

    the dsw line up is much better than psw overall.

    I own this one and I really like it. I run mine as a pre- in my 2-channel setup with LSi-15's. This may not matter to you, but it also has a non-powered Zone 2 option.

    You probably can't go wrong with any of the one's you've listed.

    A couple of us have B&K pre amps and I think we have all stuck with them for a while now. I have mine mated with a NAD C270 amp and a pair of SDA CRS+'s and it works out real well.
