    804s and HTM3s Front End Power Amps

    I just ordered a set of 804s and an HTM3s. It killed me to spend that much on a center channel but since I will use the system for 50% music and 50% movies I did not think I had a choice. With a sonically matched front end such as this I believe I could benefit from using a 3 channel amp with matching output across all three channels versus a 2 channel amp for the front L&R only. I will be using a Rotel 1056 otherwise for the surrounds in a 5 channel set up for now. I know I could get a 7 channel amp and bridge 2 of the channels to double the power output on the front speakers, but I am not sure if this would cause the center to sound weak. Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Thanks, Ed

          Htm3s + ((804s + Asw825) Or 803s)?
          by csuzor
          I am trying to decide which is the better option
          1. HTM3S + 804S + ASW825
          2. HTM3S + 803S

          The price is similar (a little more for option 1), and I know option 2 could be upgraded in the future with the ASW825, but I have to limit myself a little.

          I feel the...

          RSP-1066 front channel to Classé CAP-101

          I’m trying to use my Classé CAP-101 integrated amplifier to drive the front channels for RSP-1066. I’ve connected the front L and R pre-outs from RSP-1066 to an input in CAP-101, but I can not ear any sound (even with the volume in RSP-1066...

          by wywong
          Hi, I recently upgrade my surround processor from Rotel RSP 1068 to Classe SSP-300, and I still use the Rotel RMB1075 to drive the B&W 804S (Front) and HTM3S (center). The sound improvement is great especially listening to 2 channel CD music. I am now thinking about upgrading the multichannel amp...
