Thanks for the replies, lets me know I am on the right track. Although I will say it is what I have generally read, that some can tell a difference with an AMP, and others do not see a big difference! heh Something I noticed is that Emotiva AMP I mentioned above (XPA3 3-channel) needs pre-out voltage of 1.5v and based on a few older models (couldn’t find any info on the x3300w without contacting Denon directly) the receiver might not be able to run the amp anyway as previous models where around 1 or 1.2v. If I did decide to throw the dice, perhaps I should be looking at a different 3-channel amp? Roboklipsch would be correct in in the viewing distance, as the room size is 17x14.5 with viewing distance of around 10ft. The ceiling does start to slant up East to West, watch the TV from North to South Atmos speakers (RP-280FA) facing North(Obviously facing us!), so the Atmos speakers would operating in a room at a height of 8ft and 12ft respectively within the room (Clear as mud!) I should add that I will be replacing the TV first, in a couple weeks, as the current TV was bought in 2008… :/ Looking pretty hard at the Sony 930E, and going from a 52in to a 65in. Thanks again!

Hello, I have a rather mundane question to ask, but I can think of no better place to ask the question since I intend to purchase a set of Reference Premiere Speakers (2x RP-280FA, RP-450C, R-115SW, and 2xRP-160M) in the very near future. Upgrading from Home Theatre Speakers in a box from 10 years ago (Onkyo). I recently picked up a Denon x3300W Receiver (have not taken it out of the box yet, could return it for full refund) and Denon states it is 105W x7 @ 8 ohms. The Front Klipsch tower speakers in regards to power handling show 150W/ 600w. Would I benefit with getting an amplifier such as the Emotiva Audio XPA3 3-channel (or whatever amp you guys think would be best if needed), which produces 275 watts per channel w/ all channels driven? And if I did benefit from buying this Amplifier, approximately how beneficial would it be? Thanks for your time!
