Maybe i'll get an AV receiver to tide me over until i find a deal on a Bryston 5B 3 channel amp or a comparable amp and when that happens i can use the receiver as a pre/pro only.
Room is approx 15'x20'...floor is ceramic tile over concrete slab and exterior walls are plastered wallboard over cement block construction,internal walls are framed plastered wallboards.Very hard sound right now..just starting to add furnishings..additional sound control methods will be...
I'm wondering if i could get away with the HK 335 @ 55 watts/channel since i'm only powering a center channel (most likely the JBL EC335) and a pair of 2 way B&W's for the rear surrounds.That unit will run about 440.00.
J&R has the HK AVR635 for $769 and free shipping..they show a retail price of 1100.00...the Harmon Kardon Website shows a retail price of 1300.00..is there a great deal under our nose?

That's EXACTLY what i want to do Scott;) I have a pair of Bryston 7B 500 watt monoblocks..would love to continue with Bryston but $$$ is a concern...looking into A Rotel RB 956AX which when bridged will yield 100 watts x 3..which would run a pair of B&W 2 way speakers for the rear surrounds and...
Thanks John-Now can anybody recommend a modest price pre/pro and 3 channel amp to complete this system or perhaps a variation of the above to accomplish my needs.Thanks!
