    Hi Skykeys,

    I did not know what type of speakers you had, so I looked them up. That is why I asked the question. It appears Gaara noticed you had in-wall. I've never owned any in-wall speakers, the possibility never presented itself to me to be able to install them correctly.

    These sites are dangerous to the wallet and the credit card! It is and can be a fun hobby. Everybody trying to gain that "extra" $omething. It seems reasonable to want clean power to drive your speakers to peak potential. It may or may not sound better to you with a clean amp. If it does sound better, the bug will bite hard! Then you may consider adding more and better seperates. Only you can decide the point of diminishing returns.

    I know my taste in how music is reproduced as evolved over the past years. I've had at least 4 different AVR's, 5 different Polk lines of speakers from the RT35i to the RT2000p. Each one hit the point of poor return at some point.

    My 2 channel system right now is very balanced, yet I've hit the point of diminishing returns. My room itself is the next "seperate" to be upgraded. I've learned that it is not always the equipment have we but where and how we put it in the room. I need some bass and High Frequency traps at several points in the room. I can move my speakers around to improve some things and make other things worse.

    I probably have not said a thing to help you! I'd say try the amp of your choice. If it sounds good keep it, if not send it back. Just keep in mind what your limiting factors are.
