Leaving the Rotel in play greatly diminishes any significant upgrade in the system's performance.
Which one defines sound: Pre amp or Power amp?
I'm just wondering which component would influence the sound that comes out of the speakers more?
I have a Rotel 5chx120w 8 ohm power amp, Yamaha rxv1800 receiver and Energy RC-70 speakers for HT. I'm trying to make use of what I have and want to dable in a 2-channel setup.
Here are my options:
a) Buy a Mcintosh mc 252 power amp and use my receiver as the pre-amp.
b) Buy a Mcintosh c2200 pre amp and use my current amp(Rotel).
Which one would yield me a better overall sound?
