what is a better power amp ?

Category: Amplifiers

I am wondering what is the better choice of power amp for my system. I have a Pioneer VSX1016TXV-k 120 watts per channel x 7. My front speakers are going to be Polk RTi12. I keep reading that I should add a power amp to power the Polk front speakers. What would be the best choice - Onkyo M 282 (100 watt x 2), or Audiosource amp 300 (150 watt x 2). Not real familiar with either and don't have much money left to spend right now. Just want to know the best move between these two items. Any thoughts or comments will be greatly apprecited.

Thank-you,
Robert

Stick with the Pioneer for home theater. Your amps AND speakers should all match as close as possible for the best results. If you want to improve 2-channel then give us a budget and I am sure you will get more than a few budget amp suggestions.

If your receiver has pre-outs then you could upgrade with a seperate multi-channel amp down the road.
