Greetings, Programs.

Now that I'm in the market for a new AVR this Christmas, I've been contemplating adding an amp into my home theatre. I've been looking at a 7 channel ADA1000 but want some advice from you owners out there.

For my AVR choices, I've been looking at either a Marantz SR8013 or the SR7013--but with today's announcement of the new IMAX audio/video home format, the SR7013 looks to be in the lead.

I only have a single outlet to plug my HT gear into which is basically the AVR, JVC projector, Oppo Blu-ray disk player and PS4, so would adding in an amp possibly trip the breaker?

How much heat does your ADA1000 put out at a reasonable listening level?

Does the ADA1000 alter the sound of your AVR? If I really like the Marantz sound--usually described as more musical than a Denon--will this amp alter that sound much?

Any comments are welcome.
