Right now my home theater set up has a pair of 802Ds with an HTM2D across the front and two pairs of DS8Ss for surrounds. I have a CA-3200 driving the fronts and a CA-5100 running the rest. Everything works great and sounds great but in the back of my mind I feel like I'm not giving the my speakers, especially the 802s, enough juice....kinda like giving a dehydrated man a dixie cup to quench his thirst.
I can do one of three things:
A) Get a new CA-5300 to replace the CA-3200 to drive the fronts/sides and use the CA-5100 to drive the rears and use an extra couple channels to run a pair of in-wall bathroom speakers.
B) Add a new CA-2300 to drive the 802s; Keep the other amps to run the rest.
C) Do nothing because it sounds all good.
My question would be do I have enough power to run my speakers as is or with an upgrade will I hear a big enough difference to justify a new amp? Thanks for any opinions in advance!
