New or Used Amplifier
No Response ? 1) Should L/R Main and Center/Rear amplifiers be from the same manufacturer for tonality/harmony. 2) Would YBA2 (center/Rear) and Modwright (L/R main) sound well together?3) Are todays amplifiers that much better than older YBA 2 qua... 
New or Used Amplifier
Although I am using all Genesis Advanced Technologies Speakers ( V and surround sound) I would be afraid the tonal difference between two manufacturers of amplifier would be somewhat obvious. I assume it could be a distraction and you may lose the...

Anyone hear the new YBA gear?
It has been a long time since this post, but I also am looking at YBA and had the same question. Did you get any comparative information about old vs new YBA equipment?Thanks 
Power from Wall
Agreed, that way I have plenty of headroom for processor, CD, DVD, tuner, etc which I didn't include in calculations. I have opportunity to get a used AVR 20 at a lot less than new, but have some concern over getting used for that type of product.

Thanks for the assistance.I am on city service, Naples FLIt didn't make sense to me either, their explanationis the Class D amp is only 30% efficient so you need considerable more power. I thought the purpose of Class C was their efficiency?I was ...
