Intergrated/Power Amp

[Dermondo]

Hi, at the moment I have a denon 2311av amp but at a later date I would like to add an amp to spice up things a wee bit especially in the music department, the thing is which route should I go, power or intergrated, any assistance would be helpful.

An integrated will probably sound better than a power driven by your AV amp, in my experience the Pre amp stage in an AV amp is not up to that of an integrated, I went for Pre & Power in the end the Pre has a HT Bypass and I run my AV amp through when in surround. One option might be to look at a power amp then in the longer term add a Dedicated Pre? Whatever route you choose make sure you demo.

Thanks for the reply, mhmm, I never thought of going down that route with a power amp first then a pre amp.

What is your budget? Kronos AV has an ex-dem M6i (which has HT bi-pass) for £1499, as well as other good offers in their sale (see Kronos Sale thread).
