why did you buy a separate HT amp?


i'm in the market for an amp for my 7.1 system (sub is powered). Currently I'm using a Marantz mid-fi AVR. Basically, this receiver cannot power all my speakers to my reference volume. Someone sell me on why i need dedicated power to my 6ohm speakers!

I'm with Pacific Island Audio. I use a separate 300wpc amp for my front speakers, along with a passive pre-amp with pass-through. Maximized two channel, not as much strain on my multi-channel amp. Enables bi-amping of center channel with the open channels on the surround amp.

Enjoy,
