adding power amp to receiver


will adding a power amp to my denon avr 2700 bring that much difference? reason for asking is that i've been listening more to music lately rather than watching movies. or, should i just buy a new/used integrated (budget $500-700). listening to classicals mainly. i have a rotel rcd 951. will appreciate suggestions...thanx

Slappy,

I have Denon avr2802. My current HT setup is 5.1. I am not very familiar w/ separate setup. However, based on your response, am I to reason that I can use a 2-channel amp to drive my two front speakers while watching a movie in 5.1 setup? Would my AVR use its internal amp to drive the center and rear speakers while it would send different signals to the front speakers, driven by a separate amp? Is that your recommend setup?
