So I just bought a "Factory Renewed" Emotiva A-300 two channel amplifier. It was $338 versus the $419 they charge for a new one.
I run 5.1.2 and currently my two surrounds are being ran by my Marantz SR5012 which is apparently 100w x 2. The rest of my speakers are running off of the Outlaw model 5000.
Having the new Emotiva 2 channel amp sets me up for a pre-pro down the road. I should probably just keep it in storage until then, right? I mean, there probably wouldn't be any benefit to running it now when I have my AVR running my surrounds. Or would there be?
