Question on 2 channel vs 5 channel amps ?


I am currently running a sherbourn 5210 5 channel 200x 5 amp, pushing a pair of aerial 7B's , cc3 center anf sr3 rears, the amp works fine with these speakers, I am considering getting a seperate 2 channel amp for the 7B's and letting the sherbourn do the center and surrounds, I am considering the classe 301, krell kav 250 and the rowland 112, my question is, will I hear a signifigant improvement in 2 channel, or would it not be worth the investment, thanks all

I have the current Sherbourn 5 channel amp in my video. I tried my Aragon 4004MKII for the RH & LH front channels. It did seem to sound a little better all over. It should, it cost as much as the Sherbourn when it was new. The Sherbourn has 5 discrete monoblocs in one chassis, like the Bryston 9B. I believe that's why it sounds as good as it does...............
I'd try to pair it with the current Bryston 4BSST or the 4BST, there are plenty of the STs for sale here on Audiogon.
