While I agree that the best solution for house audio is
a 12 channel amp, what is the difference between a Dennon
3808 with 130w/ch,or a 2808 with 110w/ch and a single
separate amp with the same output?
Don't understand your question really. But a person on a budget would be wise to buy the 2808 and spend the spare $400 on an external amp.
Check the current draw on a dedicated external amp and compare it to the current draw on your prospective receiver and you may understand why the external amp is capable of driving more than 1 pair of speakers per channel effectively. For example, Denon 3808 rates at 7.2A. A 2-channel 100 watt amp will rate anywhere from 5.5A-8A depending on your flavor.
