    Best deal on Sonance or Niles?

    I am looking for a distribution amp to run 4 pairs of speakers from my second zone out of my pre-pro. Does anyone know where to get the best price on a Sonance or Niles 1260 distribution amp and outdoor volume controls? I am in So. CA. Thanks. Chuck

    Multi channel / Multi Zone Amp ideas

    I am looking for suggestions for powering 4 additional pairs of speakers throughout the house and backyard. This will require a multi zone amp. I am looking for thoughts comparing Adcom, ATI, Sherbourn, Sonance, Niles etc. Anyone?

    Suggestions for a 2nd Zone Amp

    Come on people. How about some suggestions? I have 5.1 set up in my family room with some Vandersteen speakers all around. I need an amp for my second zone. Someone suggested getting a 2 channel amp and a speaker selector box versus getting say an 8 - 12 channel amp with only 40 or so watts per...

    Good Quality 5-disc changer? Is there such a thing?

    I just purchased the SCD 555es. It is a 5 disc changer that plays SACD and CD. I don't remember where I found it, but it was recommended to me because it was a "A" Stereophile rated cd player. I bought mine recently new for about $700 from a guy that had several new units (with a receipt). If...

    Sherbourn 5/1500A vs. Outlaw 755??

    Chris, what differences between the amps did you notice in your system? I believe that I will pick up the Sherbourn and do some comparison between the two and then keep the one that best fits. I have two weeks left on the Outlaw return policy and the Sherbourns sell well in the used market...

    Sherbourn 5/1500A vs. Outlaw 755??

    Thanks all. I am enjoying your feedback. Sounds like there is no "right" or "wrong" decision. I will have the surrounds hooked up in a few minutes. Will test out the 755 for myself, although I have nothing to compare it to. I thought that I might pick up a used Sherbourn and do some comparison...

    What amp to power my Vandersteens?

    Thanks Doug. Looking for the "right" decision, even though there is no "right". There may be some wrong ones, though. Thanks for your input.

    How would you rate/rank these amp-makers?

    Kevin, I just got the 950 and am going to hook up to my Vandersteens tomorrow. What are you referring to "Eprom" upgrade? I also have the 755 (5x200 watt) amp and am trying to decide within the next (less than 30 days now) if this is the correct setup for me (pre/pro and amp). I am enjoying the...

    What amp to power my Vandersteens?

    I recently ordered the 950/755 combo from Outlaw. I am just getting it set up. I have an opportunity to pick up a Sherbourn 5/1500A 5 channel amp. I will be using for home theater, music and television. I have Vandersteen 1cs; vcc5 center, v2w subwoofer and vsm speakers in the rear for a 5.1 set...

    Sherbourn 5/1500A vs. Outlaw 755??

    Thanks for your replies. I have nothing to compare it to. I have heard that the Sherbourn amp shuts down occasionally at low volumes? Have you found this to occur? Thanks.

    Anthem AVM20 or Krell Showcase?

    Chris Helflen, several days ago I read a complete thread on the Fosgate processesor. It appears that this is the same unit as the Outlaw, Sherbourn and Atlantic Technology unit by Easttech. Not in the same class. With that being said, I am in the market for a processor. I am still hoping that...
