Amp question

[BWguy]

I currently using a Classe 2300 amp for my front B&W 804d speakers and a Rotel 1095 for my center (B&W CMC2) and rears (B&W 683). I am also using the Classe Sigma SSP. I am considering replacing the Rotel with a used Classe 3200 amp. Both amps are 200 WPC but wondered if I would notice any difference on movies in 5.1 with the Classe. I know Rotel is not quite in the same league as Classe but wondered if it would be worth the upgrade for the center and surrounds.

For that purpose, I highly doubt that you would notice a difference.

I would expect zero difference.

What is wrong with Rotel?!?! They make fantastic equipment.

Both are likely overpriced overkill for your application but why would you expect any difference if either is doing its job competently?

Ok, thanks guys. I bought the Rotel several years ago used for a pretty good price. I liked the Rotel for movies and 5 channel stereo, but not as much with 2 channel. I noticed a more relaxed sound when I added the 2 channel Classe. I just was wondering if I should have Classe all around, especially the center channel. Sounds like the advise is to stay with what I have.
