Are Preamps necessary?


I love classical music, and I have a simple system: a pair of Klipsch (RF-5) floorstanders, and Yamaha components (CDP, Tuner, and Amp). What I want from my system is to be able to close my eyes and feel like I'm there at the symphony, live.

I want to know if a preamp will help me achieve my goal. When are they necessary, or beneficial?

Agreed with Xiekitchen... also with JW94055. You dont need to invest huge ammounts of cash to arrange a nice system, even at the price you paid for your current and respectable Yamaha gear, assuming it is a classical Natural SOund series and not something extravagant from the Far East.

My humble advise is for you to try to sell or locate your current system somewhere else and go for a HiEnd setup, many options are available at this forum, particulary if you are into Classical Music listening, just adding a preamp to your current setup will not bring any additional benefit.
