Thanks for all the thoughts everyone. I had read Alan's article on separates right after posting this originally. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do. This is a very classic example of want vs. need!! I currently have a yamaha RXV657 @ 95wpc which does fine. I'm just looking for some more power with 2 channel music for the heck of it. I'm thinking Outlaw mono blocks, a bigger AV receiver or a 2 channel amp or none of the above. I'm also looking at a vintage Yamaha R2000 stereo receiver on ebay. Anyone ever own one of those-early 80's??
