divin11112000 Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I've been looking around for a multichannel amp. The amps i've been looking at are rotel 1075 (5 channel 120watts) ATI AT1505 (5 channel 150watts) Sunfire cinema grand (5channel 200watts) I'm using Klipsch rf35 series speakers and an rsw15 sub. I am using a pioneer vsx-d811s and will use that as a preamp until i can save up enough money for a preamp. I am looking for a little more bass out of my front speakers, they don't seem to extend down to their full range. I realize with an rsw15 I don't really need a whole lot from my fronts, but it doesn't seem like they are working enough. I'm hoping not to spend over 2k on an amp. I've been trying to stay close to 1k if at all possible to get a good amp for that price. A 5channel or 7channel is what i'm looking for, but i think because of price a 5channel now and a 2channel later down the road is my best bet. I'm 60%ht 40%music Does anyone have any other amps i should consider? thanks in advance Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrWho Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 What about the Crown XLS 402? (260 watts into 8 ohms) 4 @ $330 each comes to about $1400. The 202 (145 watts into 8 ohms) is $270, which could be used for the surrounds. These are very amazing sounding amps and the only downside is the fan noise. Depending on your situation it's possible that this may not be an issue. There are some really long reviews around the web about these amps...I don't think I've read anything negative about them, and many very positive comparisons to other expensive gear.

MrMcGoo Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Take a look at the ATI 2505 at onecall.com. It costs about $1,400 and requires a 20 amp circuit and socket. The ATI 2505 is new, weighs in at over 100 lbs and has a seven year warranty if my memory is correct. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMcGoo Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Arthurs, I really like the Sunfire Sig. Stereo amp. It hadles the 2.8 ohm minimum impedance of my RF-7s without breaking a sweat. In fact it runs stone cold buried in my enclosed rack. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthurs Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I hear ya, I keep trying to get rid of mine and convince myself I need something better, and then I spend 3 hours listening to it and don't know what I was thinking....funny how this hobby is...
