Gnote Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 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.

tromprof Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I have a pair of 4 channel QSC amps (CX254 and DCA 1644) and can recommend them without hesitation. I also use Crown amps in my system but have not heard any of the CTS series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look to be around $500-$800 used. Those Parasound zone masters look very interesting. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 No doubt, those Crowns would be awesome. Pretty much bulletproof, too. There is a 12 channel Parasound... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

The Dude Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 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.
