B&K AVR 307 receiver + B&K Ref 200.7 Amp

I have the B&K AVR 307 receiver which is 150x7 watt/channel
and was considering using the B&K Ref 200.7 amp with it. Thus the receiver would then just become my processor. Will I notice an improvement in sound or am I just stepping sideways and not going forward. I would like a neutral amp which is more laid back and not so forward.
Eventually I will get a new processor and combine with whatever amp I have.

Thanks

Even though B&K receivers pack a really nice amp section, adding a B&K outboard amp(200w/ch) has to be an improvement. Your 307 puts out 28 amps of current(peak to peak) while the 200.7 puts out 75 amps of current(peak to peak). That equates to over 2 1/2 times the amount of current to drive low impedence loads if need be. I am not speaking from direct experience with your exact setup but from the data it sure seems like it would be at least a slight overall improvement. I say do it. I have a 3 channel B&k Ref. 4430(200w/ch) amp and it improved my setup by leaps and bounds.
