Multi-directional is not how I would describe any 8-bay panel antenna.

I'm not convinced that one amplifier is needed. Two will be begging for inter-modulation distortion that will reduce the quality of the signals. As the antenna is aimed at the stronger stations, you can expect less not more usable signals due to overloading of the amplifiers.

Try the antenna with no amplifiers.

Do you have a list of 'must have' stations (by call sign)? The answer to this question will determine if any amplifier is needed.
