Default Starting out: 2 Channel or 3 Channel
Like many others on this site I am thinking about moving into separates. My gut tells me to start off with a 2 channel amp (for music) and let the AVR take care of the rest. I know Audyssey and MCACC will try to correct for the difference in power output but here's my question..

If I will ultimately get amps to power a 5.1 (or maybe 7.1) system, should I get a 3 channel amp now and have solid panning during movies, or 2 channel now and add the others later? Will the L/R and C sound different if powered by different sources?

For 3 channel, I'm looking at the Emo XPA-3. For 2 Channel Rotel RB-1080. I'm still looking around in general, but this ought to give an idea on budget.
