Hi Everyone,
Currently I'm driving a 5.1 setup with two Polk RITA9's in the front, and the CSI A6 in the centre. My back towers are decent infinities, but nothing special.
I've been told my Pioneer Amp VSX-926k is holding my setup back, and the Emotiva XPA-3 was recommended.
This is a very small dedicated home theatre with 4 walls and a door, 400 SQFT.
My local futureshop is offering the Marantz SR7007 for $950 CDN, which looks like a heck of a good deal.
It features 7.2-channel AV receiver with 125-watt per channel fully discrete amplifiers. Would this be a good upgrade for my Pioneer?
The problem is my Pioneer has no pre-outs, so I don't think i'll ever be able to add a dedicated amp without buying a new AVR anyway.
Will I notice a different on my A9's and A6 with the new amp? Its a small room so I don't need crazy volume, I just want the best experience.
Here are all the links
