In reply to:
the receiver is an onkyo tx-sr701. so getting amps to boost the power is a waste of money then.
Going from your Onkyo reciever to the Onkyo amps would be of no benifit to you at all.Adding those amps would not boost any power at all,it would be more like a sideways move.Sure you could add the amps but ya wouldn't get no wheres doing so.

I'm just wondering what is wrong with the Onkyo that you feel ya need a change.The Onk looks to be a pretty nice unit.

Have you looked online at the cost of a 3805 or a 3803? I am a cheap bastard when it comes to buying from stores. You may want to look at the 3803 as there is not "major" differances in the two but there is a large $$ differance. Look for factory authorized B stock items. Big savings.
PS, this is where Ray comes in.....don't be fooled about his advice as he's just looking for an in to promote his remote.

theres nothing wrong with the onkyo receiver. its actually very nice. it has all the options a guy could want. you could say i'm little addicted to electronics. addicted is a little strong. but every year about this time i feel the need to upgrade. so i guess it started when i saw the denon 3805. now its moved to wanting an amp to go with it. well after talkin to everyone here today i decided to keep my onkyo and my money. it sounds great so why upgrade now. when i get a bigger room or another factor pops up then i'll upgrade. but thanks all for the input and help.

smokey- i have the 701 also, and i think is a great receiver. it has 100watts per channel, and i have yet to crank it ALL the way. if you are just dying for more power, look into getting a bryston, rotel, parasound, marantz, or outlaw 5ch amp. i believe each of those companies make a 5ch amp with around 125-200watts per channel. cost will vary between $600-$1200 bucks, and would provide you with all the POWER you could ever need, and still allow the 701 to do the processing.
just another idea..
