I am looking for some help/input on amplifier selections. I have a Denon 3808 and plan to buy an a 7.1 Setup consisting of Paradigm Studio 100's, Studio 690, and ADP390's for the surrounds and rear speakers. What are your opinions of an XPA-3 to power the fronts and center channel and then let the receiver handle the surrounds in a 7.1 setup? What are peoples opinions of sound characteristics with letting the receiver power the rear? Would I gain more by using the Denon as a Pre/Pro and get a XPA-2 for the front and a XPA-5 for the rest? Is there gains to doing this or should I save money by just getting a XPA-3 and putting the rest towards other components? Any advice or stories of what you did would be greatly appreciated.
