I'm looking for something I can hook up to the unit I already have. Something with more power to push a few more speakers when I'm listening to music Specifically. I am running some big Klipsch and Polk Audio for home theater. The Yamaha doesn't cut it power wise! With an extra power unit I will be able to control the volume of everything better. I also have other than just the Cerwin Vegas for music specific speakers KLH. Basically what I am trying to get at is we like extremely loud rock the neighborhood Music. That's why purchased those speakers. The quality to cost is unbeatable in my opinion. Thought about leaning toward the DJ equipment thing years ago and decided that was not for me/ sound quality. Would rather invest money into home entertainment. I do host quite a bit of different events on a regular basis. Block parties, Game days, Monthly get together's exc. Really looking for advice on what to go with for now that I can hook up to my Yamaha for more power to really push those bigger speakers. My Yamaha just can't produce the crazy Concert like sound that I'm looking for. I hope this was enough for you to understand what I'm trying to get at?? If you can hear it more than 2 blocks away we're going in the right direction. Thank you for continuing to respond and I hope this was enough enough information to give you an idea of what I'm looking at
You need pro gear if you're trying to rock the whole neighborhood. Period. Home audio just isn't made to reproduce sound at those extreme levels. It does look like you have preouts for the main speakers along with subwoofer preouts so there's a start.
Now your receiver claims 100 wpc, which isn't bad to start with. The problem is you need to double your power for a mere 3 dB increase in volume. So for you, a 200 watt amp would give you a 3 dB gain. Check out this spl calculator to get an idea of the relation between power and volume.
Bottom line, I think you're gonna need more than 200 wpc for a significant increase in volume. That's MINIMUM 200 watts, and at that only a 3 dB gain. I think you need to rethink everything to hit your goals.
What you need are very sensitive speakers and gobs of power, and that just doesn't come cheap. Especially with home audio. This is where pro gear comes in. I don't know where or what you heard about sound quality, but there are lots of options for high quality pro gear. From what you describe that's where you should be looking.
Now, I'm still confused as to what you're trying to do here. You mention multiple sets of speakers. How are you using them? Like a 5.1 setup for movies? 7.1? Subwoofer? Strictly music? Or home theater also? What all speakers do you have and how are you planning to hook them all up?
