<font color='#000000'>I will be in the market for a new a/v receiver in a couple of months. I have not been fallowing the audio world lately as I once did. I just bought some new MB Quart “S” series speakers and I will need more power soon. I currently have the last Japanese series made Denon AVR-1800. Although this great inexpensive 75 watt amp was great for powering my previous set of Paradigm monitors series speakers, it lacks power to make my new 85 db MB Quart speakers really sing. I am looking to only spend 800.00 on a new amp. Is this going to be feasible? Or, since my current Denon 1800 has pre outs for an external power, you think it would be better to by a two channel amp to power my mains. Does anyone manufacture a three channel amp anymore?
I like to listen to two channel music most of the time, but love a great surround sound recorded movie as well.


Thank you,</font>

<font color='#000000'>I have my Quarts on a Yamaha RX-V1400 and it is more than enough power! I love it!

How do the Quarts compare to the Paradigms? I was considering Paradigm, but went with the Quarts to be different &amp; because I just love the brand!</font>
