I plan on setting up 11 channels of audio (LCR, SL/SR, RSL/RSR, Height 1/2, Height 3/4) in our home theater. My question is: What makes more sense, buying a 9 channel AVR with 11 channels of processing (like the Pioneer VSX-LX505)...and purchasing an additional amp to power the remaining 2 channels (and hopefully be able to assign 4 height speakers); or to buy an 11 channel AVR and run all 11 speakers from a single AVR?
If buying a separate amp for additional power, would it be best to get at least a 3 or 4 channel amp to power the LCR speakers separate from the AVR...and power the remaining channels with the AVR?
Thank you,
Nathan
