rebuy Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Since my AVR crapped out, I'm really considering a Power Amp. On the Low end side is the Emotiva BasX 5 Channel Amp. Thinking this might be better than a Marantz AVR for Power & Headroom and just better sound. Or if I spend 200 more I could get an Outlaw. I need a little advice.

babadono Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 @rebuy So the preamp out on your AVR still works? Just the power section went out? I and others just want clarification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I and others just want clarification. I have 2 AVR's and neither have Pre outs I'm gonna start all over for Amplification. I think the HDMI Boards on my H-K are going bad as I have skips on sound programs with my Cable or it's their signals. I never had those sound issues on the Denon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babadono Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I have a Marantz AVR that came as part of a package deal with my RF7-IIs and RC-64II. Its OK but no regular FM tuner only HD. Currently I am using the pre outs for the front 3 going to an Emotiva 3 channel power amp. This saves the AVRs power for the surrounds and rear surrounds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with a Marantz 5013 from Accessories4Less The "newer" 5014 seemed to be having HDMI Issues so for 50 bucks less I hope I won't get issues. Now I'll have pre outs for Expansion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
