Mojo....When I initially was deciding what components and speakers I wanted to get..I decided to spend the majority of the money on speakers...hence why I bought the low-end Denon. Had I known (my fault for not doing proper research) it didn't have pre-amp jacks..I would have bought the next model up that did. I guess the way I'm thinking about it..is that the 95w per channel..2 channels driven that my x2300 has.. just doesn't have the kick to get the most from the 5 speakers that I have it running. I've heard my uncles system..basically the same set-up as I have except he has q10s...receiver/amp..and the sound he gets is just "better"...fuller..for a lack of a better term...I've only recently gotten in higher end audio stuff...so not sure what terms to describe mid range punch etc. Thinking of either another Denon or Marantz around the 500-600 range...and looking at an Outlaw 5000 5x120w amp for around 620.
