I have a decent sound system that has been passed down from my father. Its a set of the Klipsch Reference RB-81. Its the bookshelfs along with the center, two surrounds, and a Velodyne subwoofer. I am powering them with a Pioneer Elite VSX-40 A/V Receiver via Digital Optical from my Asus Xonar Essence STX soundcard.
I have had these for a few years now and would like to upgrade. My best guess is to upgrade the receiver. I heard that it is better to get an amp that is meant for just audio instead of getting an A/V receiver because you will get more for your money if you do not plan to use the video part.
The main problem I have is I do not know where to look for an amp. Any good forums like this one but for speakers? Any recommendations?
I would like to note that I do have a record player and would like to be able to hook that up to the amp as well. I guess that could limit my options?
I look forward to seeing what you recommend,
