willland Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hey Dan, To be honest, I have absolutely no experience with any AMC amps. I can't say either way whether the quality is good or what is a good price. The last on Audiogon sold for $430.00 back in Jan. 09. But $350.00 shipped might be worth a try. I do think a 150w/ch dedicated amp is plenty of power. Being that your Denon receiver is rated at 140w/ch(2 channels driven), I would suggest you get an amp with at least 125w/ch(all channels driven). If the seller of the Denon(4400?) has two for sale, they would be a pretty good choice. Keep in mind of the amps age(17-18 yrs old). If they are in good shape and affordable to you, consider them. Is your main objective to add amplification to the front speakers or L-C-R or all channels? Again, where is your location? Forum members can better serve you in your search if we know your location(not address, just city). Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dskinner612 Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hi Bill, I just want to say thanks for helping me out here, Im looking for an amp to power all 5 speakers that I have . One that sounds good in movies , music is most important. I want an amp that sounds warm and true music fidelity not noise sounding when I put on some Alice in Chains. Smooth flowing music. I have come acrossed a carver AV 705, and older amp but has 6 channels in which I only need 5. I have been looking at reviews on amps, Rotel is getting good ones as well as NAD. TOOOO MANY AMPS!! Thanks Dan The AMC is 375 shipped, thats a bit high, I think. Thanks Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dskinner612 Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 I am wondering if I should sell the Denon and go to seperates. Would I still get a good picture and sound? actually probably a better sound than Im getting now. Let me know what You think. I am running Nordost Blue heaven wires for the fronts, Thanks Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Your Denon is a mid/high end receiver. I would try adding an amp first and then decide your next move. I think your Denon has the Realta chip in it, which is by all accounts the standard in video processing. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
