A Denon 3805 is a darn good receiver, and M60's aren't a hard load to drive. My initial reaction is that no, a seperate amp won't do much for SQ.

However, there's no substitute for actual experience with your ears on your equipment in your home. If you're curious about the dedicated amp route, I'd strongly suggest you check out the fine amps from Emotiva or Outlaw Audio, any of which come with full 30-day return policy. Buy one (or a pair of monoblocks) and see for yourself. You might be out return shipping, but you will cure your curiosity.

I have had my M60's, VP150 and and QS8's for two years and am very satisfied. (Sub is SVS) My receiver is a Denon 3805 and DVD/CD player is the Denon 3910. Again, very satisfied with the system. I've been reading where a separate amp for the fronts sometimes would help. Any comments? Everyone says the M60's are easy 8 Ohm speakers to drive. Would I hear a difference with a separte amp for the fronts?
