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?
Because they want to, have spare money to burn and feel they are missing something with just their avr.
Many actually need the amp because they have unusually large rooms or listen at insanely loud volumes in which case they can benefit from the extra power. There are those that say they can hear better dynamics when using seperate amps. I hope to find out for myself someday.
