new receiver or add power amps (1 Viewer)

[Ricky c]

I currently have a marantz sr7000 powering def.tech. procinema 100's.i also have outdoor speakers connected via speaker selector which i don't like.I was planning on either getting a marantz sr8200 which has powered second zone or a 5 channel amp for normal use and 2 channel for outdoor speakers and add this to sr7000.My question is which option would be best.I like the performance of the sr7000 but assume the 8200 would be just as good or bettter.Any input would be helpful,thanks in advance.

P.S. i did post this earlier but it got lost.

For simplicity and the exquisite sound, I would go for the 8200...I mean...192/24 bit for 6 channels...and that killer remote. Now that is sweet.
