Sterio vs. Surround?

Hello All, Will a Rotel RC-1070 sterio preamp sound better than a Rotel RSP-976 surround processor in 2-channel? Currently using the RSP-976 in my 2-channel system with Enery RC30 speakers. The RCC-1055 is my CD player but I listen to more jazz via internet radio (ipod touch)

Forgive me Tpreaves, I went to public school. And "I think so" isn't an answer :-)

What? This is kosher forum, no surround permitted.

Actually,I said,"I would think so".
Both quotes are indeed answers.

This is what I was told by a dealer concerning the Classe CA-2200 stereo amp versus the CA-3200 three channel amplifier using only two of the channels. He said that the CA-3200 sounded better because of the bigger power supply in it. I never actually sat down and compared the two, but what the dealer said sounded logical.

One of the first things that is addressed in an upgrade is beefing up the power supply. So, given that if the two Rotel amps are identical in quality, if the multichannel amp has a larger power supply, it might be better.
