I am not necessarily cheap. I just think it would be kind of ridiculous and overkill to power $100 speakers with a $2,000 amp. I don't mind the cost of the Onkyo or the Audiosource, if they will do the job. Tom, you and I discussed this in the Multi-zone thread. I took your advice on getting a seperate amp and running it from the Preouts of my Denon 2805. Thought I would like the flexibility instead of running them off the front B speaker terminals. Now I just need to settle on an amp at a reasonable price.
