Is a UPA-5 a major upgrade over a Onkyo 807?

[eurocarfan]

My current setup:

Onkyo TX-NR807
Yamaha EF series speakers NS-777 Mains, NS-444 Center, NS-333 surrounds. Mains can be Bi-Amped and handle 250 watts RMS

I would use the UPA-5 to Bi-Amp my NS-777 towers and use the remaining channel to power my center speaker.

The Onkyo claims somewhere in the 160 watt range for 6ohm stereo output. I'm guessing the UPA-5 would be in the same ballpark.

Thank you

The UPA-5 is a much better quality amp than the one in your 807. ...No comparison!
At the asking price right now ($399) it is a No-brainer!
It will do you a lot of good using it to power your speakers over your 807.
