Just my experience and opinion, but given the relatively low power requirements and volume levels of surround speakers I'd save money there and put more toward a better prepro and/or another sub. I think those would make much bigger relative contributions to your system. FWIW.
How important is amplifier choice for surround speakers?
Hello everyone,
So far my Stereo/HT system is as follows:
SF Evolution
SF Amati Center
KEF satellite speakers x2
Rel subwoofer
Krell 403B 3 channel amp
Krell Phantom
Rotel HD disc player
PS4
AV processor: TBD: Marantz/NAD/Acurus ACT4
My question is will it make a big difference if I were to put a $3K vs $7k multichannel amp in the mix to handle just the surround sound speakers, of which I'll be doing 7.1 at most (ha). I'm not looking to re create the IMax experience in my tiny living, just something decent. Thanks.
