Especially for rear and center channels, they don't require much power. The mains are what take the most juice.

Are you considering purchasing a strong 2 channel amp for your mains, and using the built in amp from the Denon? If the Denon is not powering your mains, it will have tons of power supply left for the center and rears.



I've got a fully loaded MPS-1 and other than 2 channels the had a hiss and were replaced, I love the system. I've had no shutdown problems and can play at ear splitting levels but prefer not to. With Emo there is an option to get 3 - 200W amps for the mains and center, but they also have 2 x 75W blocks that slip into the same slot that should be adequate for the surrounds. The advantage to having 7 - 200W blocks for me was that when I had a problem with the 2 channels, I reset the system for 5.1 and was still in business.
