Will adding 5-ch amp to receiver make a difference


I was thinking of adding a 5-ch amp to my Rotel RSX-965 receiver and was wondering what would be a good choice in the $1000.00 to $2000.00 range.Also as to what sonic improvments I could expect.I am using Klipsch Reference speakers RF-3II,RC-3II,RS-3II and a Velodyne CT-120 sub.Any help from the forum would be appreciated. Thanks

I am an advocate of the following axiom: "If you ask the wrong question you might get the right answer to the wrong issue."

This is my question to you:

Why would you want to listen to music with a HT receiver?

Really...you could do *much* better with a tubed CDP like the Ah!, a small Creek integrated amp, a decent power filter and a used isolation transformer from eBay.

"You're right, Psychic, but what about movies?"

Check out my 2 ch HT and you'll flip...those little Modwright Swans I've got are *extremely* holographic. In fact, I was talking to Dan Wright this afternoon and he told me he's setting up a HT in his house--a "2 Ch HT" using top of the line Swans Divas (modded by him, of course). Better two great sounding channels than five so-so...

POP UP THE VOLUME!!!
