Hi all...
I currently use an AV Receiver as a Pre/Processor and centre/rear amp its internal amps are rated at 100x5. For the mains I am currently using an RMB-1075. I have the mains bi amped/bi wired.
I am about to get rid of this AV Receiver and get a RSP-1066. I have three options.
1. Go back to running all five speakers from the 1075.
2 Get another power amp. use the 1075 to run the mains and the centre and get either a 1050 or 1070 to run the rears.
3. Get a 1080 for the mains and run the centre/surrounds off the 1075 (and lose the use of 2 channels, unless I go 7.1 :T )
With this last senario I was concerned the mains would be at 200W and the centre at 120W. Would this make any difference to the harmony of 5.1 sound or will I be unlikely to notice anything? No doubt stereo would be better with the 2 channel on the mains, my listening is 50/50 music and HT.
The speakers in question are Australian made Krix, Euphonix mains (150W, 89db 8 Ohm) and Centrix centre (110W, 89db, 8 Ohm) the surrounds are Equinox (80W, 88db, 6 Ohm) not the most efficient speakers, but I like their sound.
From previous experience with an AMC 3x150W power amp, the mains work better with more power.
Any thoughts or suggestions greatly appreciated.
