Hi everyone,
Hoping there are some EEs in the house that can help me understand this. Let's say I have an AVR and decide to add a power amp to it. I do nothing else, other than adding the power amp to the AVR via the preouts.
When I say do nothing else, I mean I keep my master volume and all other settings the same as I did before adding the power amp. My question is ... would adding a power amp in this situation change the volume levels? The reason I ask is because I'm trying to understand and figure out why people often claim that adding a power amp improves the sound, almost immediately.
My theory and I could be completely wrong on this, is that maybe the volume levels change and people perceive this level change as a sound quality change. I just need to have my facts straight on this.
Any advice would be appreciated.
