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 agree with Misskuma. Amps should have similar voices, at least across the front ( l, r and center ) channels. You can use what you want across the rears as it is less critical, at least for movies. It does become more critical if you are using the system for multi-channel music though so take this comment with a grain of salt. Sean

That's a good point Misskuma. I did not think about such things as i have the same amps driving the same series of speakers all the way around. A perfect example of first hand experience being a good teacher and a learned pupil sharing their knowledge : )

When swinging effects or music from channel to channel, pitch and tonal balance could come into play as both of these will simulate both distance and rate of travel. Having the presentation change in either of the above manners as it swings from speaker to speaker might be very noticeable and distracting. That is, if one pays attention and listens rather than just hears : ) Sean
