He was looking at ARCAM, ANTHEM MCA30 etc. Budget for the PowerAmp is <$2000 Any advice would be appreciated. Happy Regards, Ron-Sound Edited March 22, 2013 by ronsound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpearce38 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) Parasound! A31 3 channel or A51 5 Channel. Has plenty of power and great for music. I recently sold my A52 for a song I loved the sound but wanted a little more grunt. Made a move to class D which are clean and powerful with great detail but my parasound just had something special which I miss. I'm now looking to get an A21 Edited March 20, 2013 by mpearce38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caminperth Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Emotiva.. Great value for good power. I'm using an XPA-2 which I'm very happy with - got it landed in Perth within his budget. An XPA-3 is only a little more.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peta Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 From my experiments the Rotel 5 channel power amps are good value and high power output for what you describe. I use one for centre, surround and passive subwoofer while using bi-amped reference quality amps for my stereo speakers. This works for me...
