I currently own a sony v555es reciever.This receiver has done a good job so far,but i keep wondering if i add an external amp to my setup would i hear much difference? The speakers i`m using are klipsch sf2,sc1,and ss1. Any input would be greatly appreciated,thanks.
Kelvin,
You'll probably notice an improvement, but unless your speakers are particularly power-hungry, it probably won't be a HUGE improvement.
A more substantial gain could possibly be obtained by doing the exact opposite of what you're considering: keeping the Sony's amplification and buying an external pre-amp and tuner.
In either case, you'll ultimately notice a big improvement when you move completely to separates, and both scenarios I mention above will start you on that path with minimal initial expenditure.
