Yes the Sony has pre outs. What would be a great amp for my system. I guess my reason for thinking is my stereo origins are in car stereo. I quit that because i watch way more movies then listen to music and i was sick of getting my equipment stolen. But anyway I just know how much better my stereo got by just having nicer equipment. Not Necessarily more power just better quality amps. I was really big into SoundStream amps and I started with a 405s then went to Class A Piccasso and Class A 5.0. Now the piccasso had alot less power for the mids and highs but the quality of the sound was alot clearer and accurate. Because it was a better quality amp. Then that got stolen then I went with a DaVinci. And thats a whole other story. But anyway Maybe im nuts and like to tinker way too much. So maybe an Amp would be a better choice. What is a good amp that would run everything except my Epic 350. Then maybe I could upgrade to an Ep500.
