Hi,
It's generally accepted on this forum that Stereo-amps are better for music than AVR-amps of same price-range. I have a couple of queries as a consequence...
1. Does this mean that if we use the stereo-amp for two front channels of a5.1 based movie, the SQ would be better >> compared to an AVR-amp driving the fronts?
Pls have patience to read the next qry....
2. If the answer to point-1 is yes, then why not use identical stereo amps for each pair of outputs (i.e front pair and rear pair) and may be use a third stereo-amp just to drive the center speaker. (The Subwoofer channel would still require an Active Subwoofer).
- You can set independent spkr volumes thru their respective amps (and stereo-balance control) based on room acoustics...whereas the overall-volume of whole setup will be controlled by the source dvd player (most DVDP have this facility)
Will the above setup have better SQ (since its based on better electronics of Stereo amp)?.... or there are some features in AVR electronics design that make them deliver better SQ in 5.1 movie compared to Stereo amps?
Regds,

P.S: What sense does it make to go for the setup in point-2?... Well I am going by some statements in this fourm that an AVR having Music SQ of a stereo amp costs 1 lac+. If this is so, then why not assemble a collection of Norge Stereo-amplifiers to deliver 5.1 channels at a cost of 50k?
