vandec54 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I am currently running a 5.1 set-up with a Yamaha receiver that lacks power. Instead of ditching the whole receiver can I get an amp to push out some extra power into all my speakers? If this is correct, will my DSP modes in my receiver be effected or will the amp just push out more power? Finally, could anyone recommend an amp that goes great with my reference series?

sunburnwilly Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 As long as you have pre-amp out puts yes , and it will not affect your dsp modes other than making them sound better with cleaner power . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbajner Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 using my Yamaha receiver (RXV-2095) now as a pre/pro it works great bought an Anthem MCA50 5-ch amp really made a difference in sound was not looking for a lot of more power but got more now too remmeber, do not buy cheap audio interconnects this is the main link between your receiver and the external amp and should be quality my Yamaha RXV-2095 is no slouch when it comes to A/V receivers and still the amp made a difference in the sound so what are you waiting for go get that amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandec54 Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 I would like to get one for around 700 or less. I would like to power all my channels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbajner Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 sounds like a previously owned amp at that price check out Audiogon or maybe someone on this site is selling check local craiglist too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
