I ended up buying a Elektra very happy with it so far.

I'm keeping my eye out for a second hand one to power my rears etc..

 

yep when going atmos, I looked around earnestly all options local and overseas, ended up just coming back to grabbing another elektra. great value and quality of product for money, especially where its such an awesome thing and comparable for money are really only what are budget brands overseas selling for twice what they should here !

Halco might have been a good option too. Aussie made. The MC range pop up here and on eBay. A very clean and dynamic amp but I find they need a good hour warm up time.

 

The SimonNo10's Krell TAS would have been an outstanding amp choice. I had a high end 5.1 system that was pretty much all Krell (a pair of Spendor S9e's at the rear being the only departure). The descent of Serenity at the opening of the film was clean, crisp and visceral.

I just cranked a emotiva xpa-5 setup and for the money, i was very impressed.

 

I then listened to the same setup on an Anthem 225 and honestly, there was not much in it.

 

For the money, emotiva!

 

For the record, im no audiophile...

Serpeant, can I ask were you got it from?

I'm looking at getting another power amp to power my rear speakers.

For the record I love my  Elektra power amp but I think buying another for the rear speakers and future ceiling speakers could be a overkill.

I did not buy.

There wasnt much in it, so fwiw, Emotiva because of value!!!
