Will adding 5-ch amp to receiver make a difference

My concerns are more with music than with HT.I listen to a lot of rock and find most cd's are not involving and take on a edgy sound not to my liking.There are other discs like Steely Dan's Two Against Nature,Dire Straits Brothers in Arms,Donald Fagan's The Nightfly and Fleetwood Mac's Greatest Hits to name a few that I really like maybe because they were recorded better but mostly because I like the way they SOUND.I think some cd's just sound better than others and those are the ones that find the most playback time on my cd player.Now if I could add a beefier 5-ch amp to my system and improve the sonic signature across the board, I'm all over that!I was just wondering if someone else out there has made this upgrade and could explain the improvments in doing so.All comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks to all!

I am an advocate of the following axiom: "If you ask the wrong question you might get the right answer to the wrong issue."

This is my question to you:

Why would you want to listen to music with a HT receiver?

Really...you could do *much* better with a tubed CDP like the Ah!, a small Creek integrated amp, a decent power filter and a used isolation transformer from eBay.

"You're right, Psychic, but what about movies?"

Check out my 2 ch HT and you'll flip...those little Modwright Swans I've got are *extremely* holographic. In fact, I was talking to Dan Wright this afternoon and he told me he's setting up a HT in his house--a "2 Ch HT" using top of the line Swans Divas (modded by him, of course). Better two great sounding channels than five so-so...

POP UP THE VOLUME!!!

I have an opinion. Nobody has addressed the fact that the pre-section will be a limiting factor--no matter how pricey an amp you choose. In regular 2ch;does the pre not matter??--Works the same for HT as well. Dump the reciever;get all separates.
