...why would someone go with the 2 channel version vs. the 8 if price is not an issue? It seems they are nearly identical other than the number of outputs. So when you want to listen to stereo fir music.....according to what I've read, you theoretically get the same power output on either the A1400-8 and A1400-2. The plus side in my opinion is, when you watch a movie in 5.1 or 7.1, you have the ability to crank it up without the having to push your receiver amp.
Am I looking at this wrong or would most just want the main speakers to be powered by the added available power of an amp and given a good receiver (I've got the Onkyo flagship from last year, the 905), leave the HT to the receiver.
The reason I ask is, I was going to go with the A1400-8 on my order but was waiting to see its 2 channel cousin....now I'm a bit confused as which way to go.
