Hi everyone,

Currently I'm using Denon 4700 with XTZ Spirit 8 series(LCR) and Spirit 2 series(Surround) for 7.1.2 setup. My room size is 11x12.

Planning to Amplifier to the existing system, but didn't experience the difference if adding an amp would give big improvement over the current setup.

Please provide your valuable suggestions on this?

Tonewinner : https://www.summithifi.com/products/ad-7300pa-amplifier

Also, not sure whether i really need to add another sub to this setup. Asking in this forum, as i'm not sure on where to get a demo to check in my setup.

Your AVR is quite powerful. Do you feel it’s under powering the speakers ? Crown is also an option in case you want to add power in phases - 2 channels first and then the rest (if there’s improvement).

Adding Power Amp would most certainly improve the performance even if you are watching OTT content. The woofer of your speakers would be put in use properly. Starting with 3 channels with more powerful Amp like XPA3 would have better chance to improvise the performance if the budget allows. BasX series are not built to last very long unlike XPA.

I agree with your statement. Since i could not experience of how the amp would be performing in my existing setup and not sure how our members got experience that the system needs power amp or not...

Thanks Ankit for your suggestion. My existing setup is very good according to my listening levels. The same setup I used it in home town without proper calibration. but after setting up the proper dedicated room with calibration, I was surprised by these performances. Let me see if i can stretch my budget. I would love to spend bit extra, If i could feel the difference of power amp in the existing setup. would need to search around for any demo options to finalize.
