Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners To amp or not to amp

I belong to the group of the people that think that separates do make a difference, at least for music listening, not sure for HT. I myself switched from a Rotel receiver to Rotel separates, and experienced a noticable improvement of my 2 channel system sound, same speakers, same room. Opinions of other people may vary.

bob: that is a good overview by Alan, but, it just does not get into selection criteria. Those criteria are what I am currently looking for.

You can design an amplifier many ways. Some are electronically better than others, some are more expensive than others, and, some are more reliable than others. I don't see much of this "second level" information posted anywhere.
