I have the emotiva xpa3 and recently bought the center s35. Just wondering if you guys would use the amp or receiver for that speaker? I know some have mentioned you cant enough power and it just depends on how loud you play them?
receiver- marantz1607

thanks

    It's a 3 channel amp, of course you should use it for the center.
    it just depends on how loud you play them?

    That's not the reason. Higher powered, high quality amps make the sound better at lower volumes. Note, I said high quality.

    If the marantaz doesnt have a pre out for the center is there another way to hook it up to the amp?
    unless im missing the out?

    Without preouts you cannot use the amp and receiver as you want. That model only has preouts for front channels
