OK, let's say I was ready to add an outboard amp(s). There are lots of 2-channel units out there (and my local hi-fi shop where I bought my speakers, for example, handles Rotel); then there are the Marantz MA700 @ $500 each; while the biggest step seems to be 5-chl, say Outlaw 750 @ $1050.
As Cees notes, opening the L/R audio is the first step; but we are DVD people, too, so we also want to baby our Center.
If we didn't upgrade incrementally, wud the 5-chl approach be where it's at? And what if we just used 3 of the 5 for the front soundstage and left the rears on the AVR -- any point to that?
I"m not necessarily asking for brand recommendations, but rather looking at the approach to going separates...
