Using Amplifier for Speakers
If you are not familiar with the benefits of amplifier for speakers, it is a stereo integrated amplifier which is essentially a pre amp and power amp in one box. By using a stereo integrated amplifier, you can route all stereo sources through it, completely by passing the AV receiver and take advantage of the better quality power stages within the integrated amplifier.
A dedicated stereo amplifier will give a cleaner sound, due to its containing less electronics that can cause interference. It will have its own power supply which gives a better performance. Many classic integrated amplifiers also featured good phono stages, for use with a turntable.
Adding a stereo integrated amplifier to your setup is a straight forward addition, that can yield some big improvements in stereo performance. It is preferable to choose an amp that has the feature to keep things simple and easier to use, especially if your setup is used by others members of the house who may not remember to adjust the volume accordingly or turn off amps prior to switching speakers.
