ready to drop the hammer an a new hk avr235

If the receiver has pre-out for the fronts; an outboard amp is fine for the fronts , many folks do this. I know of no way to alocate 2 of the other channels on this receiver to run as a biamp configuration. Many of the high-end receivers can do this; I doubt your model can. ---Not to worry; a better 2ch amp (if you have pre-outs) will make a good difference.---Make sure your front speakers can handle it.---And, do we have a sub??

Why would you want to hit it with a hammer?
.

i do have a sub and a seperate amp. i was thinking with the big speaker small speaker thing, i could effectivly bi-amp the nht 2.5i and keep the same amp sound at all 5 channels. i may be able to spend a little more and get the larger avr635 (i think 635) with removeble power cord and 15 additional watts per channel. does the power cord warrent the upgrade? should i buy online and save money? i think there is about 250-300 price difference. does anybody know what the dynamic power is like on thies hk's? i know the onkyo(integra) is only about 30 additional watts for a total of 140 or 130 for the popular models.

if all else fails hit it with a hammer.

ok the other model i'm looking at is hk avr435 about 700. it comes with a much larger power cord. does this make much difference? most of the inputs will go unused. just dvd and sat auido. mabey vcr. cd player. none of the video, i dont see the need.
