Hi All,
I have a 5.1 setup consisting of the 340 classics up front and the 200's as my rears with an svs sub. The speakers are powered by my Yamaha Receiver (HTR-5890). Lately I have noticed that I have been raising the volume a bit more than usual. The weather is starting to warm up and so is my receiver. Even after I raise the volume, the audible difference is not that dramatic. I feel like I am missing uptop when I play it loud. I think perhaps it is time for an external amp to ease the load on my receiver.
I would ideally like to get an external amp to run my fronts since they are all the same and have my receiver run the rears.
I have a budget of $325 but I can stretch it a bit more. Any suggestions? (No pro amps please)
