Currently running 7.2 ("traditional" 5 + front presence); mostly HT and TV, not much 2-channel (tend to play even music in full surround mode).
Currently have the XPA-3 powering L/C/R. Awaiting the arrival of the XPA-100s, which will go to the L/R, XPA-3 will then power the center and surrounds. Front presence running off the Yamaha 3040.
Planning to implement 9.2 - still undecided whether to add rear surrounds or Atmos-style ceiling speakers above my MLP.
Have had my XPA-3 on the market, might have an opportunity to sell it soon.
Based on the setup, if I did sell the XPA-3, wondering which way I should go for the next amp(s)? Initially, thinking the XPA-5 would be ideal. But also considered the idea of adding a third XPA-100 AND
The other thought is I just keep the XPA-3 - maybe use that on the rear surrounds (if I go that way) and add an XPA-200 for the side surrounds?
I can obviously go up to 11.2 with my Yamaha, but don't know if I'm ready to go full Atmos (hassle to add ceiling speakers - both time and SWMBO), and I do plan to add ceiling speakers in the bonus room next door, so kind of need 2 of the channels off the AVR unless I can figure out another way to get the content to those speakers.
