Separate Amp for AV receiver


I have a Denon Receiver, AVXR4300H. Not happy with it. I'm considering an inexpensive 7.2 channel amp to see if it will help. Does anyone have a recommendation.

The easiest way to correct a room with an AVR is to remove the AVR from the room. Massive improvement!
Not happy with the sound from a receiver. What are the odds? That’s a joke son, there are no receivers that sound good. Most important lesson to learn from this is why: because they try and cram way too much stuff in way too small a package for way too little money.

Audiophiles love to overcomplicate everything but the fact of the matter is high end audio is very, very simple: high sound quality comes directly from high quality parts.

Yes it really is that simple. Works right down to the smallest detail, where each and every little part- each capacitor, diode, resistor, transformer, etc - the quality of each of those directly impacts the sound quality you get.

Not watts. Not frequency response. Not any of the other BS. It is all BS. Parts quality, that is where its at.

So now, what are the odds you are gonna get good sound quality from a cheap nine channel amp? Slim to none? Or just plain zero?  

Study the above information very carefully. It is written with wit and style but every word of it is true. So now, repeat after me: On second thought I do not want multichannel. I want a good stereo integrated amp.

Excellent.
