    If you are going to hold out then I would say the 1500. IMHO this is better than the 545. I cannot comment on the Carver.

    I'm tempted but wallet's a little thin.

    More importantly: would this be "enough" of an upgrade from either a rewired XL280 or Rotel 985 (currently used as a 3 chnl)?
