When I added an outboard amp to my 3808, I didn’t notice a significant difference. Certainly not one that I would recommend anyone spending money that would be better spent on food for their children or some gift that would get their old lady horny….
Where I notice the most difference is when watching movies during scenes with aggressive dynamic peaks. Some of the action scenes can scare the crap out of folks if I have the volume too high, whereas without the amp, the peaks would just sound loud as hell.
I’m using a B&O Ice Power 5 channel amp. 200 WPC / 8 Ohm. Something like 350 / 4 Ohm. I got it for a heck of a bargain, so I don’t have buyer’s remorse. But if I would have dumped a couple grand on it, I’d be pissed for believing all the power mongers for touting the virtues of more power is better.
I’m not helping much with this indecisive responce am I?
