I have 5.1 MA Platinums surround powered by 3 Leema Hydra amplifiers rated at 285w into 4 ohms. The centre channel is biamped.
As I have an onkyo 5509 preamp, I have been considering installing the other surround sound channels. I already have 2 MA Apex speakers with stands that I could use either for rears or wides. I would either get more MA Apex or Mass speakers for the other channels (including heights).
My question is about the power amplifier for the surrounds. Would I need to get one that is rated to the same power as the hydras or would going lower (and cheaper) be ok?
