Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater amplifier?

JohnK as a child: "Mommy, I know I have lots of red Lego's, but I think the white ones might be stronger. No.... I don't have proof, I just believe they will be. Can't that be enough?"

Announcer: "In his later years, his own double-blind Lego testing proved otherwise, and an epiphany was had."

I thought the thing about red Legos is that you were supposed to eat them last.

Wow, I really dated myself with that one.

LOL! I like that one, Mark!

LOL Good one!

Genrally I don't do 1 liners or comments that don't add to the discussion, but that was worth it!

snazzed

But if you did do one liners, and went on to become famous for them, it might inspire a new expression for the masses from your handle.
"You got Snazzed!!!"

Oops Sorry, I didn't add to the discussion. Ummmmm. Amps are good!

Ok finally got a chance to catch up on all the replys to my post here. Thanks to everyone for all the input. Seems as if I do have "upgradeitis". Do they make any creams or anything for that? It just wont go away! I dont really want to change the W's that I have as i like the look and expect they are of the highest quality for on wall. I have just upgraded from QS4 to QS8 and from the EP175 to the 350. I hope to get better performance due to those changes. I am however surprised to hear that most say an amp wont make enough difference. I know when i have added amps to car audio systems in the past the difference was enormous. I assumed it would be the same here.

Car audio - small space, very easy to make changes and hear a difference, Home audio - much larger space, not so easy to make changes and hear a difference, the wattage required to really hear differences is enormous. Having said that, I ran Axiom's A1400 with my 3808 as the pre/pro and could hear a difference right away, more bass, highs were cleaner, crisper, will all outboard amps add this much; I don't know.

Well since you have pretty much the same receiver as I do just 2 years newer then I have to beleive that adding the A1400 or similar will make a difference. It may also help me to have someone who really knows what they are doing set up the system. Thinking of hiring a consultant for that. Reading the Denon guide and trying to actually put what i am reading into action is tough for a beginner like me. Plus my patience wears thin very quickly.

Thanks
