Hi -
Well I have really enjoyed reading on this forum for the past few days......Very informative and insightful community! I look forward to being more or a part of it!
After researching and recieving replies to my posts in the Rotel & Parasound forums.....I am trying to decide between powering a pair of B&W 802's with either a 2 channel or 5 channel amp.
I have always thought that 200w/ch is 200w/ch no matter if it is produced by a stereo amp or a multichannel one. Why would one use and what benifits are gained by using a seperate 2 channel amp to power N802's vs. say a 200 or 250w/ch 5 channel amp?
I care MUCH MORE about how my music sounds than my movies....I believe that movies are more able to sound good on a less stellar system - Movies, (I know that many in this community will feel more strongly than I about this and will have their opinions) sound good on most systems of the caliber equipment I am looking at and are discussed in this forum (B&W, Rotel, Parasound etc...). Will a 2ch amp benifit my Stereo Sound that much more than a 5 channel amp?
Your insight is appreciated!
Best regards,
