Background:

I'm looking to clean up my audio/media/CD collection setup. I also need to
make it more wife friendly. Currently I use a Pioneer amp (recent monolithic
module based, not original) into IPL transmission line speakers and I route
various inputs through it via the built-in input selector. As a 'mature'
person my hearing is OK 'for my age' but if I'm honest with myself I find
that I can't really distinguish between uncompressed and MP3 compressed
material...with a few exceptions. That is why I'm looking at a MP3 based
storage solution. I'm after opinions before I go ahead and make some
changes.

Questions:

The built in Brennan amp uses Monolithic Power MP7782 units. In the interest
of reducing clutter I'm looking to use this as my main amplifier. It seems
to that these days all amplifiers are 'created equal' and audio quality it
will be at least as 'good' as my existing Pioneer amp. Right ? If not then
why not ?

The Brennan amp only has one external input. I plan to common up source line
level outputs via a passive summing network and switch the sources as
required instead (PVR, TV etc.) In the interest of clutter reduction and
ease of use I would prefer this to a switch box. There will be 2 (maybe 3)
sources and so a simple Y-network will suffice. Yes ? Resistor values ?
Around 470R in each arm ?

Comments please ?
