I may have asked this before so i appologize in advance.I have a rotel rsx1056 w/603s3 & lcr600.Will be adding 601s3 to replace my current surrounds.I plan to add an amp in the future to really bring out these spkrs.My question is should i get a 2 or 3 channel amp.I'm thinking a 3 would be better so the fronts would all be the same.I hear everyone get the 2 channel for the mains but that leaves the center open.I plan to buy used and have looked at the rotel 993 as 3 channel and the 1080 2 channel.Or not to be a pain but would a 5 channel be even better.I will be limited in my budget.And last but not least do you think i should even add an amp,would it make that much of a difference considering my receiver.My room is 19.5 x 22.5.My use is 75-80% HT/TV and 20-25% music 2 , dts,& 5 ch stereo depending on the mood.

My upgrade path was to get a 3 ch first for the front speakers. It was a Bryston 5b-ST. Then Later I got the 2 ch 4b-ST for my left and right speakers. The 4b is more powerful then the 5b but it has not been a problem with the power being uneven. If you are mainly a HT person right now then the 3 ch should work fine. Trust me, a seperate amp will make a very big difference. Once you try it, you will not go back. My first reciever was the Dennon 3300. It made a very big difference. Good luck -
A dedicated amp will be a big jump in sound quality and since you're mostly HT I'd look at either a 3 or 5 channel amp...likely a 5 channel as its more flexible later on if you ever go to 7.1 or for bi amping the mains etc....that and there's far more 5 channels amps availabled used then 3 channelComment

If i went with a 5 channel amp due to no rb993 available would the rmb1075 be good enough.Comment
