With me thinking about going to a 11.2 in the future I will need an amp but have been thinking about how to go about getting what I need and still take some of the burden off of the AVR for the power. So I know I need at least a 2 channel to run the additional 2 speakers high but what if I got a 5 channel and then used 5 channels on the AVR for the others? Same thought on a 7 channel Amp. I am lost. I really could use some people that have gone through this for some advise and thoughts.
I am also looking at the future to upgrade to different Ascends, maybe towers and a new center and want to get the best from everything with all things considered as to what to power them with cleanly.
Thank you
