This forum has been a huge help to me in an internal battle for new AV receiver or external Amp. Thanks to All!!!
I have decided to pre/pro the 797 and purchase an amp to get better quality volume/watts/output.
Currently Onkyo claims this unit to supply 100 equal watts to 6 channels. I am in doubt of that from other threads I have read.
I have understood that perhaps with all channels driven that I may be getting only 50-75 watts of power per channel.
My question, is the watts per channel a step-up in the following amps that can be readily available for a substantial discount at ubid and ebay.
1. parasound 855
2. Carver AV 405
3. Carver AV 505
4. Rotel RB 985
Or can I get reccomendations for others in the $400 to $1,000 range.
Again...every one has been a great help and thanks!
