I agree but can't see it in my setup yet unless it were to switch line level
to speaker level.

Where can you get a pure amp anywhere close to the price (much less cheaper)
of one of the DE135 receivers where I get 4 100W channels and 4 inputs with
a builtin tuner? The only one made are for the audiophile and arguably
overpriced for their function. It woud be quite a bit to drive 10 speaker
pair with high end amps. I'm not an audiophile or EE type and so am not
overly familiar with what's available or what can be done.

Thanks,
