Can you guys explain why people add a separate amp for the fronts with say a 2809, 3808 or other similar quality of amps? Is it just for more power in the stereo music listening mode? When using in HT mode, it seem the fronts are not asked to do much, compared to the center, so would have much more headroom than would normally be needed in HT mode. What am I missing here?
