Multichannel Pro Amp Advice


Gnote

Recommended Posts

Getting ready to start putting my pro home theater together. I am trying to conserve rack space and was thinking about using a multichannel amp like a CTS 8200 to run Rear speakers (LSI splits) sides (KI 102's) and eventually ATMOS speakers (4-KPT 200's). I was wondering if anybody has used one .I would welcome any input  or suggestions. I will be powering the Main's (MCM's) and Subs with Crown K2's and K1's  which I mostly have already.

Crown no longer makes them and some online retailers are out of stock.

 

While slightly less power, I've been considering the 4 channel Parasound zonemaster.  It's only 1 rack space high without the feet.

I was thinking used as most everything else in the system will be . They look to be around $500-$800 used.

Those Parasound zone masters look very interesting. Thanks

I have a couple of McIntosh MC-8207.  Been happy with those.

Good golly, I hope so.

I was thinking the same thing . I have no desire to switch out any of my speakers but I would ditch all my crown amps in a heartbeat for a couple MC-8207 . I really like my Crowns but they aren't McIntosh.

If you look for the HCA series from Parasound, look for the one that have an A on the end of the model number as those have 12 volt triggers. I like the sound of my 806 (I believe there is a 1206) 806 has 80 watts per a channel and the 1206 has 120. However, my 806 needs to go in for repairs.. If money wasn't an issue, I would look at McIntosh. I am currently running my diy project as an active speaker with Hypex Fushion with great results.
