Hi:
I have a post below asking about Classe vs Mccormack for B&W N804. One thing that has been mentioned is the idea of choosing between using one 5or 6 channel amp such as a Classe cav 180 or 500 versus using two amps such as a ca300 for the fronts and a cav 180 for the center and surrounds. The amps do not have to be Classe.
Possibly it would allow for a better front with pure 2 channel capability and a different multi for the rest, (maybe even bridged from 6 to 3 channels). Perhaps it woud be possible to overcome comprimises in the multi at least on the fronts. It may increase the options for further upgrades in the future including upgrading the 804's.Does this seem like a good idea? Are the power requirements an issue? Would thiis allow a better musical sound?
What are your experiences?
Thanks for any advice.
