>>On the contrary I found that smaller power amps...

Well, um, that would be the "better" part of my comment...

I don't disagree. I haven't had a chance to listen to the very best amps, just "decent 200w/chan" vs. "built into the receiver" and I definitely preferred the bigger/better amp every time.

I just didn't want demasoni to buy a spiffy new amp and cut corners on the sub, when we all know he should buy that big honkin SVS that he's lusting after
