Synergy aside;It depends on what amps,and what speakers.---Not to mention how much one wanted to spend.A 10k amp will be 'under-performing' driving 500 dollar speakers.---No matter what processor one is using.
Which is better- one 5 channel amp or 3 stereo?
I'm buying a used Shure 5200 with remote to replace my dead Paramount Prologic. I have a dvd player with built in DD/DTS decoder.
The Shure was considred tops and the first to create a unified system approach of processor, amps and speakers. it presaged the coming of H-THX by several years, and it's acra vector logic was far superior to prologic. However, Dolby labs willingness to license Pro-Logic for pennies doomed Shures more expensive Acra-Vector (shadesof VHS vs Beta).
Anyway, Shure insists it's system is intended for multiple stereo amps, not a single multi channel amp. Does anyone have opinions either way?
TIA

FYI- Front end is a JVC 85 wpc av- integrated amp with video switching and processor loop.
