I have a 7.2.4 system in my theater room. I have an older PIONEER Elite SC-LX701that only supports 9.2, so I need an extra amplifier to run the surround rears.
Does it matter what amplifier I use? I bought a cheap Fosi Audio BT20A Bluetooth 5.0 Stereo Audio 2 Channel Amplifier Receiver to power those 2 surround rears. Would I be able to tell a difference if I replace that with a more expensive amplifier like a Sony STRDH190?
Just wondering why some people have an expensive AV receiver that can power all the speakers, but then still use an expensive amplifier on top of that. I am a complete newbie with audio equipment.
