I have 2 monoblocks powering my LSI9s and HTR-6090 powering my LSiC and LSi-FXs. Do you think i need another 3rd amp for center channel ? Will there be alot of difference ? Thanks.

    It depends on your room size/usage, some that upgrade the mains, end up upgrading the center amp too. If it feels weak, do it. I would move one of my monos over from a main to the center during a movie, calibrate and listen to see if you hear a difference at different volume levels.

    If there isn't a real difference, you at least know that you have taken some of the load off your receiver and you are getting the most from 2 chanel music.

    and 2 days later i am a lucky owner of another Outlaw product ! We are in the same state, thats why it was so quick. I don't know if its just the movie Resident Evil 2, or its my new amp., but it sounded pretty damn nice in uncompressed blu-ray sound
