Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Getting a new amp solution for my LFR1100's

Well, my thought pattern went on for a bit beyond when I posted.

Right now I have a Pioneer SC1227 receiver. it has it's class D amps built in, and I can personally hear the difference between the receiver and the sound that I get from my Anthem.

I understand that the anthem is about 100 watts more power, and probably much better built considering it's got a bigger power supply, capacitors and power delivery circuitry..

So effectively, I have paid for a receiver that say 60% of the cost went into putting in a Class D amp that I am not using at all.

So why not just sell the reciever as it's new and I could probably get back what I paid for it (I got a sweet deal on it) and put that towards getting a REAL pre-amp like say, the Merantz AV8801. Match that up with say an Outlaw 7700 to cover the front speakers and the MCA for the rear.
