Hello,
First, thank you for all your previous help – I have another question though.
As previously mentioned I am looking at avr-x4700h for 5.2.4 setup with:
2 towers - 1 center – 2 surrounds – (all 6 ohm).
4 ceiling speakers – (all 8 ohm).
2 powered subs.
Room 20’ x 15’ x 8’ ceiling. - use for both music and movies.
Moderate volume levels mostly – (beer is known to increase volume though).
9 channels total would be driven by Denon internal amp.
I am thinking of getting an Emotiva A-300 (for LR) and a Dayton APA150 bridged (for C).
This leaves the 2 surround and 4 ceiling speakers to be powered by 4700 internal amp.
This would take some load off 4700 - decrease heat and increase power output to the surrounds and ceiling speakers
– right ?
I recall Gene Dellasala recommending externally amping for LCR – more headroom n-stuff.
I also plan to use an Aircom - AC infinity cooling fan system with the 4700.
Unless maybe I’m listening at really high volume levels (lots of beer) – will the external amping provide cleaner better sound ?
Are adding the amps (or maybe just amp) worth while for cleaner sound, more headroom, less heat, and or other benefits ?
Almost forgot – I have a 2 ch. 50 watt/ch Emotiva (non-bridgeable) flex fusion amp – I can’t think of where to use it though – Let me know if you see a use for it – was used for surrounds in previous 5.1.
