I did this same thing just a few days ago...added Emotiva multichannel amp and now use my Marantz as a preamp. VERY noticeable change and wish I would have done this a long time ago.
AV Receiver Underpowered?
I am questioning my AV Receiver as being underpowered.
I have the following Boston Acoustics speakers
PV-1000
VR-MC
VR-MX (2)
VR-MEX
VR-M60 (2)
VR-M50 (2) - Currently setup for zone 2
I have a Denon AV 1908. I used to have a cheap Onkyo that I liked better, but switched to the Denon to get the HDMI inputs awhile ago. I haven't really been happy with the Denon and assume it is underpowered.
I did see there was some complicated math but really just need a stupid simple method for figuring out the right AV Receiver.
Is my Denon Av 1908 underpowered? If so what is the proper Marantz/Denon model to run these?
