Shodrewken Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 And a quick side note, I noticed you've picked yourself up a Chase SS 18.2, how is that working for you so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I need some help locating a good used 5 or 7 channel amp. Any help is appreciated! Jeff's NAD 925THX is the ticket. It is a great amp, I should know, I used to own it. https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/147053-fs-nad-925-thx-125-x-5-57500/ Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardsweb Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I have an Elan D660 amp I'm no longer using. It is 6 channels. I can post a picture when I get home this evening, if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappydue Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 whats this amp gonna be for? got a new room coming along? or wanting a 5 channel for in your home theater to get rid of some of your other amps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) I would prefer a 200 watt amp. I am sliming down so this would be for the HT. Jeff's NAD 925THX is the ticket. It is a great amp, I should know, I used to own I have seen it and am thinking of just how much power I need. And a quick side note, I noticed you've picked yourself up a Chase SS 18.2, how is that working for you so far? I like the SS 18.2 since I have a large room to fill. I like the passive subs with the Berhinger I Nuke 3000 DSP. There is a ton of processing to help get the sub just right. whats this amp gonna be for? got a new room coming along? or wanting a 5 channel for in your home theater to get rid of some of your other amps? I already miss the Carver M 400. I am even considering selling the Yamaha M 80 if I can find something that also has a black floor. The Carver is possibly the strongest amp that I have owned even though it is rated at only 200 watts and the Yamaha is 250 watts. These amp have been stellar performers. I seen an Emo 3 channel for $500 but, a 5 or 7 channel amp makes more cents. Edited December 6, 2013 by derrickdj1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can't talk you into Jeff's NAD, maybe this will interest you. http://app.audiogon.com/listings/solid-state-b-k-7250-serreis-ii-great-shape-2013-11-23-amplifiers-95050-santa-clara-ca Bill Edited December 6, 2013 by willland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its basically my amp with out the xlr connects. Edit, it also is a 5ch and mine is a 7ch but the power is the same and its great with the 7s.

willland Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I have seen it and am thinking of just how much power I need. Just to let you know, the NAD 925THX specs at "only" 125w/ch with all channels driven but from my experience with this amp, it performs like it has plenty of throttle left. It specs at 200w/ch in stereo. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willland Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Im not sure what the 5ch sell for. Bill might know I have seen the 7250/7250 S2 sell from $600.00 to $800.00 on average. The last five completed listings on Ebay are in order: $660, $500, $750, $499. Maybe $800.00 plus shipping is not a great price. No 7-channel 7270's sold in the last few months.

derrickdj1 Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 Thanks for the info. The Nad is still a consideration. It is less watts than my avr but, I like running the 7's as small so it may be enough. Just thinking about the future and if I would buy a preamp.
