Hello Forum: I have the Marantz SR 5003 AV Receiver. I have to say that is really good for the money with music and films. I have it connected to a B&W 685 homecinema speakers set. I’m very happy with it.
I ‘m thinking, when I have saved enough money, to improve the hi-fi feature of my set adding a stereo amp. I have many questions to do the right choice. I would be very grateful if you would could help me.
These are the questions:
a. Do you think it drastically will improve the sound quality with music, worth the extra expense?
b. Do you think the cinema feature will keep its sound quality?
c. Is better to acquire an amp of the same mark as the receiver in order to warrant the sonic coherence of the set ?
d. The av receiver can output 90 W per channel, have I to join with an amp of similar output to obtain a balanced set ?
e. What amp do you recommend me for my current set?
f. Andrew Everard helps us in a post describing how to connect an AV receiver through it’s preouts to a stereo amp. Is possible other option?
Thank you for your help forum.
