I currently have a Marantz 7008 AVR running my Klipsch RP8000f’s, RP450C, RP502S, and RP500A speakers and I am looking to add an external amp to get more quality and performance out of my speakers. I am also running two SVS PB2000 subs and one Klipsch R112SW. I listen to music & home theatre equally. My budget is around $1,500.00. I’m considering the Emotiva xpa3 gen3 amp which is a 3 channel amp that would deliver 275 watts rms to my left, center, and right channels and the Marantz would run the rest. I was also considering an Outlaw 5000 but I like the power rating and damping factor of the Emotiva better. Which amps are you guys using? Which way should I go? 3 channel with more watts or a 5 channel amp with less watts or a 7 channel amp with less watts? Any input is appreciated!

Try Paducah home theatre they have great prices and most likely still have some R115sw’s left.
