Upgrade advice please


I have a dedicated HT setup used 60/40 movies/multi channel music (concerts & DVDA). Room is 14x22x9, plush carpet & recliners. Sharp 9000 DLP. Echostar HD6000 sat receiver. Denon 1600 DVD. Denon AVR 3802. Monster HTS 3600 Power Center. Klipsch Cornwall II (L&R front). Klipsch Forte (L&R surround). Klipsch Heresy II (center, L&R rear)with Sunfire True Sub Jr. Volume is not an issue but I am wondering if I could reasonably expect significant improvement in sound quality by replacing my 3802 with the Outlaw 950/770 combo? Budget is $2500 max. What do you think?

Lvsjedi - Toonsurge is suggesting you consider keeping your 3802 and adding a higher power two channel amp to drive your Cornwalls in favor of the Outlaw combo. I cannot comment on which would sound better in your room, but this is an excellent alternative for improving your system while spending less $$$.

As a matter of fact, you could add as many channels of amplification as you need/want by using the other pre-amp outputs on the Dennon.

Here's how to use an external two channel amp with your Dennon. You bypass the Dennon's two front channel amps by running RCA's from the Dennon's pre-amp outputs to the inputs of the two channel amp. You remove the Front R/L speaker cables from the Dennon and connect them to the binding posts on the two channel amp. Voila! Upgrade complete.
