602s3´s need bigger effect amp!!

[ac81017]

I have the following, B&W 602s3´s front and back, lcr60 centre, asw750! Now for the hard part, I love my Sony QS system so I won´t part with that!!, BUT!, My sony amp has pre-outs in 5.1 and 6.1, what effect amp or amps should I use just to give my speakers that extra push??? I was thinking of Rotel or NAD?? Can anyone help?? :W

Rotel - If you can, go for bi-amping your mains and centre - the 602's will love you for that.
I find that most B&W loudspeaker just love good clean power - the just become more open and alive!

I am of the opinion that ANY external amp will sound better than the internal amps of a receiver. (especially if the speaker is not so efficient)

go Rotel.

(I have to qualify my receiver statement ... since I have not had a high end receiver, I can only speak for mid to low entry receivers)

i agree that you should go for a Rotel ......we have the same fronts & center & i just got a Rotel RMB-1075 connected to my Yamaha HTR-5860 as power amp.-pre/pro combo, & it indeed made my 602s3 & lcr60s3 sing :E ......am now experiencing a totally new satisfaction in HT viewing just by adding the Rotel power amp. to my modest set-up...... 8)
