I wanted to get started on this topic actually. Also new and looking for amplifier advice. I have a grand master on wall Axiom system which I ran on a few different receivers in my last theaters. Trying to get more clarity from my sound in the new room I am building and considering getting a preamp- amp combo. One of the websites our there had a rep who recommended the Yamaha CX-A5000 along with the MX-A5000. Was a bit pricey for my taste.
Should I go with the preamp-amp combo to improve clarity at volume? Is it worth spending the money? My room is about 20X17. my Grand Master is a 7.1 on wall.
