Currently I have a 3 and 1/2 year old Yamaha 793 receiver (80 watts times 5) with, I believe, efficient Pinnacle speakers (2 gold reference towers, a Pinnacle Wide-Center and 2 Pinnacle gold reference mini-monitors-all 92 db or higher in efficiency). The setup includes a 250 watt Pinnacle sub-woofer.
The room in question is about 14 feet wide times 24 feet long and 8 foot ceilings and the setup is against the 14 foot wall. I am considering upgrading to separates and I might consider getting an amp first as the Yamaha has pre-outs. Recommendations as to amp and watt per channel that wold make a noticeable difference? I listen to movies 80% and music 20%. I would like to stay under $2,000 for the amp and as for the pre-amp I am not sure (the Outlaw 950 looks like a good deal).
Suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
