    Hi Simphiwes. Denon does not make separate power amps but there are plenty of other makers of better separate amps to choose from.

    Denon makes a good product, just pick the one that has all the features you want & make sure it has preouts & you will be all set!

    Hi Simphiwes,

    I have Denon AVR3806. It has all the bells and whistles for audio/video. As cfrizz said make sure you get the one with preouts. A month ago I have added B&K AV5000 5 channel amp. I have bi-amped my front Rti8’s and running the centre straight from the B&K amp.

    The Rti’8 were a little on the bright side (IMO) with the Denon alone. After I added B&K amp the silk dome tweeters mellowed down on 8’s and it sounds sweet. When I say tweeters are ‘bright’ I mean with music only.

    Most standalone amps with reasonable power supply will run your 8’s nicely.
